Yeah, so I'm just going to NAK this until things are improved:

NAKed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

it's not like we are overly bored in timekeeping and need the extra complexity as

Proper, comprehensive, proactive technical description is needed, with proper
changelogs, not just half-baked notes. If all that is fixed I'll lift my NAK.

Thanks,

Ingo
