(Get the code!)
Hmmm not sure I agree with that explanation. It's clear that people want to be able to set the length a notification shows for. It's a feature that is even listed in the documentation.
People are asking to be able to use it, and you're either not letting them, or are suggesting having a one-controls-all slider bar. As far as API's go that's not very usable and you're not catering for people that want to develop for the platform.
You still haven't given a clear reason why it's a bad idea to expose the timeout property.
There are clear reasons why it would be a good idea to expose it (mentioned above). It benefits the end user's experience, and platform as a whole, as developers are able to write applications with suitable timeouts depending on the context.
