Never say never ;-) 
I need to change it now as a temporary workaround for a problem in the UMTS core network of my company. But I think there could be thousands of situations where a fine tuning of this TCP parameter could be useful.

Any contributes on the problem?

   Problem: I need to change the max value of the TCP retransmission
   timeout.

Why?  There should be zero reason to change this value.
