After https://github.com/apache/mesos/commit/447d814ac80e67f30a0ffe2ee6047d85dc8fc383 the refuse_seconds should not be as dangerous as it used to be. This was backported to 0.24 and above recently. Without the backported patch the filter may never take effect when the allocation takes longer than the actual filter.
