Quoting myself in the thread from 12 Nov 2020: This whole "implies" thing turned out to be a colossal PITA. I regret the fact that it got merged. It wasn't my idea. This whole thing came about because Nicolas Pitre wanted to make PHC core support into a module and also to be able to remove dynamic posix clock support for tinification. It has proved to be a never ending source of confusion. Let's restore the core functionality and remove "implies" for good. Thanks, Richard
