The final idea is to let set it (and all parameters in tramp-methods)
depending on host etc, like you could already do it with default method,
user, host. That's not implemented yet. Maybe I should give it a drive.

Hmm, different use cases. I have introduced the 10 sec delay for
sudo-alike methods, when I was blamed for the long 60 seconds for them.

But 10 seconds might be too short in some cases, indeed. Maybe 20
seconds is a better compromise. I'll think about.
