Which, sadly, are required by anyone who dual-boots with a certain other OS made by Microsoft? So hwclock will still be needed for many people—perhaps kernel support should be the default, but a painless migration path for those who need to keep using hwclock would be appropriate (if any migration is even needed—I’m unclear on whether hwclock would be removed from the boot runlevel on existing installs or only not added on new installs). -- Christopher Head
