That depends what you use clones for.  If you use them for collecting a
short list of nodes of current interest from a larger tree, you can get
basically the same effect from the bookmarks.py and quickMove.py
plugins.  With those plugins enabled, create a node with a headline
containing `@bookmarks`.  It doesn't have to be at the start of the
headline.

Use the tree context menu 'Move -> Bookmark to first child' to
designate this node a bookmark node.  Use the context menu on the
button which appears to make the button permanent.

Now, whenever you want to create a quick link to a particular node,
just click the button.  Links appear under it with the headline of the
node of interest - their first line is an UNL pointing to the node.
You can use the rest of the body for notes about why you're interested
in the node.  You can reorganize the links under the @bookmarks node
any way you want.  Double clicking them takes you to the target node.

- this works even with target nodes in @auto files
- you can have links to nodes in other .leo files
- no creepy clone stuff happens to your derived files

To me this is a clone free way of getting the most common functionality
of clones, organizing nodes of interest from a larger tree.
