The idea was keep it separate so that if someone needs to keep earlier 
behavior (of ignoring the core clock failure), then it would be easier 
to just revert this commit and still use flag mechanism. Also convenient 
with git bisect for finding offending commit. I don't mind squashing 
this into patch 2 if we think that's better.
