These entries do not age out. We discussed the topic a couple of other
times (eg. [0]) without a clear conclusion.
Also, we observed that in certain environments the size of this table can
increase to a point where the SB database starts to be huge (>1GB) mostly
due to the entries in this table.
To avoid this, we landed a patch in OpenStack recently that could be useful
for you [1].
