I guess I wasn't clear enough on that...having a bad week, it seems.

System times are based on internal clocks that will vary across systems, even when time synchronization is in place. If you're not careful, a migrated process has a high probability of seeing CLOCK_MONOTONIC going backward, for example, which is going to create confusion. People do have reasons for doing this kind of work...

That was just me being dense. Thanks for the additional explanation.
