Correct, I mentioned 10 seconds latency to be on the safe side - but in general I suspect it can be reduced to below 1 second, which should be enough for everyone but the most specialized cases: even specialized HA servers will update their systems in low activity maintenance windows. and we don't design the Linux kernel for weird, extreme cases, we design for the common, sane case that has the broadest appeal, and we hope that the feature garners enough interest to be maintainable. This is not a problem in general: the weird case can take care of itself just fine - 'specialized and weird' usually means there's enough money to throw at special hardware and human solutions or it goes extinct quickly ...
