Currently nothing prevents it. So a big itc jump can happen.
Anyway user application can be stopped/continued by SIGSTOP/SIGCONT
so that user application should be tolerable with such a big jump of itc.

So in theory it's ok. But I'm not sure in practical.
Do you have any concrete examples/scenario in your mind?
