I'm -1 because the concept of "timeout" is generic enough to be often implemented as a custom exception, which poses questions re. backward/forward compatibilty. E.g. in psutil I have "TimeoutExpired", also providing a "seconds" attribute. Also I've probably never seen ETIME / ETIMEDOUT happening, whereas AFAIU the point PEP 3151 was to create mappings for the most common errnos.
