Isn't "harakiri" a bad naming?

[yusufff]

As this Wikipedia page says:

Seppuku (harakiri) is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment.

Suicide means killing yourself. So the action is performed by the subject.

But as the uWSGI docs says:

Harakiri, is the maximum time a single request can run, before being destroyed by the master.

In this case, action is performed by the master, not the subject (worker) itself. Is there a deeper purpose in the naming of this config?

My mind when I wander through uWSGI parameters for hours.
