There is a reaper that releases nodes after a certain duration. I believe it's set to 6 hours right now.

This is a safeguard for nodes that may not have been released properly in a job and are "leaking".

I was mainly wondering what happens if I do not release a node. The wiki
page is not clear if a garbage collector is actually implemented. I
wanted to know if it would have been useful that I create a jenkinsjob
running daily that would kill my unreleased nodes.
