What Alexander really means, there should be some options like this:
BadUrlPeriodAbsoluteIncrease
BadUrlPeriodPerCentIncrease
BadUrlPeriodMax
so next indexing time for "bad url" will grow and grow with every reindexing
(if the url is still "bad"), so after some time you won't notice it.
If you want this feature, it can be done, but it is a subject of custom
development, because most users feel fine now.

Bend the facts to fit the conclusion. It's easier that way.
