I don't get why it is hard for build farms. Someone, somwhere
is writing the script that invokes meson & ninja with some
args. Why is it hard to add --timeout-multiplier=10 too ?

I'm not convinced we want to optimize for the slowest hardware
we can find, especially when there's an easy option of setting
--timeout-multiplier=10.
