* timeout exception prevents any further updates. This is evidently a eclipse smarthome framework bug<pre>2017-11-21 16:59:30.517 [WARN ] [org.apache.karaf.services.eventadmin] - EventAdmin: Blacklisting ServiceReference [{org.osgi.service.event.EventHandler, org.eclipse.smarthome.core.events.EventPublisher}={event.topics=smarthome, component.name=org.eclipse.smarthome.core.internal.events.OSGiEventManager, component.id=38, service.id=139, service.bundleid=109, service.scope=bundle} | Bundle(org.eclipse.smarthome.core_0.9.0.201711202142 [109])] due to timeout!</pre>
** It appears the same bug is described here as well: https://community.openhab.org/t/openhab-stopped-working-after-update-2-2-0-build-1088/36441/2

that I applied in that thread, basically add <pre>org.apache.felix.eventadmin.Timeout=0</pre> to <pre>/var/lib/openhab2/etc/org.apache.felix.eventadmin.impl.EventAdmin.cfg</pre>. This should probably be removed at some point since it basically hides long running (or never returning) event handlers
