[smartmontools-support] Captive mode timeout?

Given disk sizes today, there probably isn't a single drive that could
run "-t long -C" within the timeout.  A 4TB drive (WD4003FFBX) can't
even run -t short within the timeout.

I see an old issue #303 (https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/303) from
8 years ago closed WONTFIX.

Is captive mode basically no longer meaningful?
