And in that game mode, the problem would be that some orders issued at -10 seconds are lost, but it wouldn't be a problem that someone needs more than 5 minutes in a turn (play faster!).
Orders issued in last 10 seconds nearly never make it to the server anyway

- If all the players hit turn before deadline, no need for deadline.
- If when a player can't meet deadline game is saved, no need for deadline.
I am not too sure why there is opposition to this suggestion.
Only Lienrag, and myself were playing the 5 minute test games, and I can tell you, this would have saved both of us a lot of extra work. When you are doing something specific, that 5 mins or the time left when you thought of something, just flies by, and you forget, until it all just dissapears from in front of you.
Looking forward, the advantages are,
a) There will be more 5 minute test games and this will help.
b) If someone just loses a sense of time, this will save all their work.
c) If someone does some work, but gets called away or distracted by something else, this will save their work.
c) if someone loses internet connection, it doesn't hold up the whole game.
d) if someone just gets the shits and says stuff you, and does not login, it will not affect the game.

Disadvantages
1) someone cant put in an order in the last 10 seconds
What am I missing?
