Not exactly.

That's a reason not to go past the published limits at all.

If some card vendor think they can distribute drivers that exceed the limit,
and this results in a fried card, I guess they can give the user a new board
in exchange (if they really think they know this won't happen most of the
time). As a hobbyist distributing a replacement OS, I can't do this. 

So I think CV_AGGRESSIVE_TIMING should go away completely.
