I guess the motivation is that if user X successfully becomes root, within a specified timeout period user X can become root again. I'm sure that if user X became root, logged out, and user Y logged in, they would *not* be able to take advantage of user X's cached privileges. Seems like a good feature to me -- though I'm sure it can be disabled.
