Should wordpress_logged_in cookie exist while logged out?

The function wp_logout (https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/pluggable.php#L564) calls the function wp_clear_auth_cookie (https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/pluggable.php#L928) which sets the expiration dates of all involved cookies to something in the past. Also for the LOGGED_IN_COOKIE.

Hence, what you observe is strange. For sites that I maintain, the cookie will be cleared when I log out.
