In case you want to avoid that the old value is reported: yes.

But this won't prevent that a job is scheduled thereto between the startup of the execd and the next cycle of the report interval. Between these two events some values are just not reported. So, a job not requesting these load values, can be scheduled thereto. This I just confirmed in my cluster.
