ansible/changelogs/fragments/timeout_config_fix.yml

bugfixes:
  - connection timeouts defined in ansible.cfg will now be properly used, the --timeout cli option was obscuring them by always being set.
breaking_changes:
  - Any plugin using the config system and the `cli` entry to use the `timeout` from the command line, will see the value change if the use had configured it in any of the lower precedence methods.
    If relying on this behaviour to consume the global/generic timeout from the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT constant, please consult the documentation on plugin configuration to add the overlaping entries.
