Have re-read.  That was a different pair of proposals.

I have abandoned the idea of forcing timestamp uniqueness entirely - that was
a hack to define a canonical commit order, and my new RFC describes a better
way to get this.

I still think finer-grained timestamps would be a good idea, but that is
much less important than the different set of properties we can guarantee
via the new RFC.
