The problem is not recovering link. The problem is the link takes some time to recover and then it has to reassign the IP address settings and get the stack all functional again. This seems to take quite some time on some machines. The timeout is already really long (60 seconds). Since we don't know what the upper bound is on this (hard to believe 60 is not enough, and yet some people still report time-outs), we think this work-around is a reasonable solution if you have an outlier PC setup. For most teams, it is not necessary.
