Ah nevermind, I understand.

These timers will either expire from passing the 60s set duration, or
will expire as worker_process_timeout itself expires, kills the
connection and times out associated timers (including the aio timers).

Setting it to worker_shutdown_timeout's duration would be pointless
(an 'infinite' timer would give the same result).

So the only situation in which a different value for these AIO
timers would make sense is if these AIO operations are expected to
take longer 60s, but less than worker_shutdown_timeout (in cases
where it has been increased from it's own default of 60s).

In that case the AIO operation's timeout would have to be one
(or more) of it's own directives, with a value less than
worker_shutdown_timeout.

(doesn't seem like it's worth it from the ticket discussion,
sorry for the noise).
