Thanks for clearing this up. I had just formulated my own reply but I'll
happily delete it. :)
> The workloads don't expect 1ns resolution.
Yes, they don't. In the revert explanation I just used that number to
illustrate the general ordering problem. The workload that surfaced the
issue is just plain weird of course but it points to a more general
ordering problem.

Yes.
> If user visible timestamps are truncated to 100ns all is good.
Yes.
