My hangup (which I should have mentioned in my previous email), is that
the popular use case will always be to set the hwclock as we do right
now. This changes default behavior without any fallback. The majority of
users are inconvenienced and need to pick up on this change. I'll have
to read up on pm-utils hooks to see if there's another approach that
would also be suitable.
