Description
In most cases--especially for centralized APIs--$require and mixins work fine because each request tend to return quickly.
However when it comes to decentralized apps, each node is not guaranteed to be awake when making requests.
When this happens, the entire `$require` and mixin resolution gets dragged down by the one dead node because that single request doesn't return until it times out.
Need to come up with an improved version of parallel request spec to deal with this somehow.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the parallel request specification and the code resolving $require and mixins, then trace how a request that times out affects the whole resolution; done means the resolution no longer stalls on one unavailable node.
