The admins in the sceanario of this bug were setting `agent_down_time` to a really high value because they wanted to effectively disable the periodic checks / updates of the agent status in neutron. While it may be argued that they shouldn't have done it for other reasons (there's a good reason these checks should happen periodically and not be disabled), still that's what they did, and nothing stopped them. This bug is to make sure they are stopped at some limit that we know is broken.

Perhaps neutron may also want to tighten the option down even more to make sure that the periodic is executed more often, but that's a different discussion. This bug is for theoretical limit defined by libc common implementation.
