I don't know :-)
I see that timeout is deprecated and is unsafe in some respects, but using callout
adds a bit more code/churn without any obvious benefit.
For example, I don't use any fine-grained locking here, nor do I do drain or stop,
so all of the good features of callout are not used.
But perhaps I am missing something and I really ought to use some of those
features somewhere?
