I don't think so, it would destroy the idea of having idle timers on the server. Gnus should cope with destroyed network connections, it shouldn't include workarounds to make sure the network connection isn't destroyed. In theory anyway. Did this actually cause anything to fail? If so, what? Gnus should simply re-open the connection, I think.
