I'm aware of this, but my point is: Wouldn't it be better to get the
SET_PARENT_PARENT upstream instead of applying a work-around (I am
assuming of course that SET_PARENT_PARENT is the correct way of handling
these clocks), which would be reverted later anyway?

Also this looks like similar to the work duplication issue that was
raised before here on the ml. Different groups working on the same
thing, but with no or little coordination between them. Might be just me
though...
