When webapp is stopped, its classloader is stopped as well. Allowing a thread to run will allow application to hit this absence of classloader. If application is well behaving by itself (and it is up to you to define what is well behaving) you can turn off this cleanup. What matters is whether there are leaks in the end or not. If there are none, just turn off this cleanup. It was not intended to be a panacea but just some crutches until webapps learn how to take care of the problem by themselves. I think there is no need for this option that you are suggesting.
