Also forgot to mention, this is a RFC 1191 requirement:

"Note: an implementation should provide a means for changing the timeout 
duration, including setting it to "infinity".  For example, hosts 
attached to an FDDI network which is then attached to the rest of the 
Internet via a slow serial line are never going to discover a new 
non-local PMTU, so they should not have to put up with dropped datagrams 
every 10 minutes."
