MPLS LDP IGP Sync HOLDDOWN?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why would anyone use the holddown option for IGP
Sync? Does is not advertise the max metric after the timers expires for the
link having synchronization issue? If that's the case why would you enable
the sync feature in the first time if it will be bypassed after the
holddown timer expires? Am I missing something?

I have a topology I'm testing this feature. Instead of filling up the email
with attachments I put the image at

Thank you,
