Good idea.

Good idea, but would it really be of any help?

Sure it would warn opers the server is about to split, but what can they do about it?

It may be useful to detect if flowstops often happens and such, measuring quality of the link.

In that case, perhaps we should have a conf option set::options::server-ping-warn set to a threshold value.

Ex:
set::options::server-ping-warn 10
Would send a notice to opers that a server has taken X number of seconds to respond to a ping, if the number of seconds is greater or equal to set::options::server-ping-warn

This requires a PONG to be received from the server, which will prevent a flood of notices, and allow people to set their own time value (if they want the notices)

I would really like to see what Stealth suggested.

Something configurable so you can detect a crappy link would be nice.
But, AFAIK we only send PING/PONG on idle links.. so if we haven't received anything. If you would want this feature then this would need to be changed (always send a PING every XX seconds).
I could be wrong though! But that's how it works for clients...

still not a bad idea
