That should probably read:
16 bit counters are not accurate enough to be used.
Right?

I really do not understand why you want to do this. Accuracy is not really
a reason to dismiss working hardware right away. What you can do is to
lower the rating so other eventually available hardware will be preferred.
I might be missing something, but if so this is obviously missing in the
changelog.
