Hi,

The changelog provides no reason for the revert of those two patches.

Look at it from the point of view of a person who hasn't been following the
discussion (whose initials might be LT).  That person might get puzzled and
upset, no?
I'm puzzled at how to explain this...
The whole details have been explained over and over during the discussion.
The simple answer is that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST has been causing extra clock 
drift, John's attempt didn't fix the real cause.
My patch doesn't just revert the patches, it also includes the _real_ fix, 
so why would the real fix require more justification? That person also 
didn't get puzzled why two patches claiming to fix the same problem got 
merged...

bye, Roman
