No, it shouldn't be selected forever. How long did you wait?

With each sample dropped by the (reachable) NTP source
max_reach_sample_ago should get smaller and at some point the SHM
source should become "stale" and be unselected, if it doesn't happen
earlier due to increased root distance.

No, it's supposed to compare the newest sample of the unreachable
source with oldest sample of a reachable source to determine if the
spans of the two sources still overlap.
