You are right, in this case the difference does not matter. (I was confused
by mixing the route timeout with the source timeout).

BTW, why Babel accepts unfeasible updates of non-selected routes? It will
not cause problems as such route cannot be selected later (due to its
unfeasibility) but it seems strange.
