I suppose a different timeout for positive and negative remorse timers would be too much to ask for, right?

To explain what I mean, most remorse timers are of the kind, "So and so will happen unless you press here." Examples: deleting stuff. This is what I call a "negative" timeout since your action stops something from happening.
The other kind is, "Press here if you want something to happen." Examples: proceed with updates in OpenRepos. This is what I call a "positive" timeout since your action makes something happen.

I would prefer the negative timeout short but the positive one long, but I can understand if that is not possible.
Is that "positive timeout" used anywhere else than warehouse? I think using it like that is wrong anyway. For updates there should be just normal popup notification without timer in it. After all, it's called "remorse timer" so you hit it if you regret your previous action.
