Many people have joked over the years that KEEPALIVE should really be
called MAKEDEAD instead because that is the function.  But don't lose
sight of the fact that making a dead connection dead is vitally
important for automated processes to detect failure in many cases.
Humans have a variable timeout and will figure it out.  But machines
have patience.
