I'm just imagining that I'm a framework author looking at mesos.proto. I can 
see that it defaults to false, but I'd like to see a sentence or two in the 
comment above FrameworkInfo that tells me when I should set failover=true.

I still don't entirely understand what problem we're trying to solve. Please 
correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I can read in the code, when I first 
register my framework, I would set failover=false and failover_timeout=X 
(original default) to deactivate the framework on exit/disconnect and wait X 
before removing it completely. I would set failover=false and 
failover_timeout=0 to immediately remove the framework upon exit/disconnect. I 
would set failover=true (timeout irrelevant) to deactivate on exit/disconnect 
and never removeFramework.
According to MESOS-703, this timeout/flag cannot be changed during 
re-registrations yet.

This two-flag state is really confusing. I think I prefer the suggestion that 
negative values (since '0' is apparently valid) imply a "failover forever" 
state. But you would also have to enable negative Durations 
https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/master/3rdparty/libprocess/3rdparty/stout/include/stout/duration.hpp#L33
Maybe Duration::max() is enough to imply "forever"? Or if you do use two flags, 
I think "failover_forever=true" would read better.
