There's no reason not to have the other clocks in the file. I would
rather keep them as it doesn't hurt to have them right?

The reason for keeping them is when a customer sends you a trace.dat
file (from commands you ask them to run), you can use the trace.dat
file to see what other clocks they have configured in case you want to
have them try another clock in their next recording.

Extra data about the system the trace.dat file was run on is always a
plus.
