We got a relatively recent customer bug in a flow inviting a non-responding client with an active GO, which resulted in missing multiple beacon transmissions due to GO being too long out of its channel and eventual disconnection.
I also wasn't confident about this change originally.. Would it be more acceptable to make these timeouts configurable, while keeping the original values as defaults?
