LL should either lock the sync of cloud formations across all users, or they should not bother trying to sync at all and just generate cloud formations local to the client only. A halfway implementation that doesn't keep in sync ultimately just wastes bandwidth vs just a randomized clientside cloud generator that needs no bandwidth.

Windlight?
How will this be affected by windlight? --Lavender Arrow 09:33, 19 February 2008 (PST)
either sync or don't bother
which is why different clients can see different cloud formations and de-synchronizes cloud view from the server over time.
LL should either lock the sync of cloud formations across all users, or they should not bother trying to sync at all and just generate cloud formations local to the client only.

- The clouds refered to are the particle like clouds and not the shader clouds (windlight). That aspect of the documentation hasn't been updated, most likely because nobody cares enough to ask LL how clouds currently work. It's totally moot considering the user can override the windlight settings. It's one of those little things that nobody really cares about.
