timeout

Hi,  I have a question.

Why is the "timeout" command disappearing from recent Linux
distributions?
I am referring to the command that allows a time limit to be set for
another command:

    # timeout 10 ftp ...

It is useful to me.

I don't think it is a bash built-in command, but why not?

Thanks,
-Mike
