And... btw... I'm getting the impression that clk API stuff is being done
behind my back, with decisions on the direction being taken in closed room
scenarios - maybe because I objected fairly strongly to the previous set
of patches.

I hope I'm wrong, but that's the impression I now have, based upon where
the discussion got to last time around and the quoted part of Jeremy's
mail (which is all I have to go on.)
