 * Replace imports of ``amaranth.asserts.{Assert, Assume, Cover}`` with imports from ``amaranth.hdl``
 * Remove any usage of ``name=`` with assertions, possibly replacing them with custom messages
 * Ensure all elaboratables are subclasses of :class:`Elaboratable`
+* Ensure clock domains aren't used outside the module that defines them, or its submodules; move clock domain definitions upwards in the hierarchy as necessary
