Comment (by pbennett):

 Replying to [comment:11 rsiddons]:
 > STANDBY_TIMEOUT is a macro defined in a different unit so it would have
 to be duplicated. Actually the default value is irrelevant - the setting
 is only being used as a "Allow Standby on startup" flag so why not use the
 traditional 1 ?
 I agree.
 > Users that currently set it to 0 because they never want the FE to time-
 out whilst in use would be forced to start using the max timeout to retain
 the ability of shutdown after automatic recordings. Or go back to using
 !MythWelcome. So the setting documentation
 https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Configuring_Frontend#Shutdown.2FReboot_Settings
 > requires changing as well...
 This is a valid point and is the point I was trying to make from the
 beginning. After I discovered that the default is actually 90, I thought
 that most users may have just left it as 90 and so would not be affected.
 That may not be true.
