(1) That seems like a bug, either in MAAS or in the IMPI implementation. I
wonder if it's related to this one that was just fixed for inclusion in
MAAS 2.2.2. [1]

(2) That's strange then, because I would expect that commissioning would
time out after ~20 minutes and deployment would time out after ~40 minutes,
if you are using the latest version of MAAS. (Which version of MAAS are you
running?) It might be helpful to post the event log for the machines having
the problem. The contents of /var/log/maas/*.log could also help diagnose
the issue.
