Actually, it SHOULD stay non-zero to fix exactly those problems, otherwise
you need to wait a long time to test it... And the Linux development
process is "developers can't possibly test everything, so users need to
do testing as well.

Exactly my point. Leave it in.

Maybe for uptime display only, you could subtract INITIAL_JIFFIES from
jiffies, for printing, but leave the initial value as non-zero?
