Indeed. Linus, please consider merging at least George's latest patch set which provides just the new system calls to support POSIX clocks and timers. There is no dependence on the high-resolution bits, so at least Linux can provide the missing POSIX.4 system calls. George can then provide the high resolution code separately which can be debated and optionally merged.
