well, the "answered some time ago" is true for any kind of availability checking. You never get information more precise than your "sample interval". Still, I think it's good practice to distinguish between "our keepalive mechanism has determine X or Y" and "we have never actually tried to even figure out".
All I want to prevent is some user looking at the vty output, relying that available actually means available, and then wasting time trying to debug a problem.
You can keep the bool and just adjust the print-out, as I proposed further down this patch.
