Comment(by westi):

 Replying to [comment:42 miqrogroove]:
 > So westi and ryan, you want to roll back part of the API feature, but
 for only one transport.  That means for systems supporting fractional
 timeouts above 1 sec, that support is being removed, but only for curl.
 That is behavioral change, whereas I just want to patch the bug and have
 as little impact on 2.9.1 as possible.  Is this a trivial difference, or
 could there be some advantage to one way versus the other?

 If there is a guaranteed way for curl to always support fractional
 timeouts including not triggering the Warning seen in #11499 then I would
 happily take that as an alternative patch for this issue.

 Maybe the best solution is to apply Ryans patch for 2.9.1 and work on
 supporting fractional timeouts for curl in 3.0 - don't forget they were
 only introduced at the last minute into 2.9 and in hindsight that change
 should have probably waited until 3.0
