No, a deferred is just a chain of callbacks -- it doesn't really make 
sense to time out a chain of callbacks. You need to time out the 
*source* operation that is planning on eventually calling the deferred. 
The process of killing the source operation ought to additionally cause 
the deferred's errback to be called.
