RFC 450

MULTICS SAMPLING TIMEOUT CHANGE 💖

Okay bestie, this is RFC 450 🎀, written by M. Padlipsky of MIT-MULTICS, NIC number 14134, dated February 8, 1973 ✨. It doesn't obsolete or update any other RFC, and it doesn't state a category or status, so I'm not making one up 🙈.

Okay so the big news 📣 is that the timeout on sampling ("anonymous") use of Multics over the Net got bumped from 1 cpu minute to 5 cpu minutes 🔥. People were asking for it, and the team found a little extra budget, so they said yes 💅. Combined with some internal speedups 🚀, this means you can actually run substantive experiments in a single session, which is literally iconic 👑.
