Upstreaming changes like these is very important because monkeypatching 
the framework is not and cannot be supported and may break in various 
strange ways in the future.

Patches 1, 2, and 3 applied as offered on branch mwr-patch-20231212.  
Patch 4 has been revised and applied on the branch because the command 
to be executed is free-form text while the timeout is a simple number; 
the revised format ("Executing on MACHINE with timeout TIMEOUT: 
COMMAND") is easier to reliably parse.
