If that's a problem, when something needs changes. An API that
can only be managed by implementers due to rigorous review lacks
something, maybe easy-of-use, maybe documentation. Can it be the
case that the current state makes you a single-point of failure?

If yes, I'd at least suggest better docs in linux/Documentation,
e.g. describe the big-picture, the implementation and common
cave-ats, e.g. why an approach "uniquely name every single
clock ... makes the API pointless" doesn't work.
