There must have been a misunderstanding indeed, I interpreted "New
dtschema changed it" as meaning there were now new rules. Is that
incorrect ?

If you don't mind clarifying, what is the current recommendation to
indicate that a property has a fixed number of items ? Which of the
following three options is preferred ?

properties:
  clocks:
    minItems: 2

properties:
  clocks:
    maxItems: 2

properties:
  clocks:
    minItems: 2
    maxItems: 2
