Is there any way to have a duration do something in the cleanup step but not next turn without using ways?

If not, then the question of whether this ruling is a general tweak to the duration rules or a special case for way of the squirrel is not very relevant until some future card makes that situation possible.

Right, that's what I meant by saying that the question might be too non-practical to expect Donald to answer it. In Outpost v1, Outpost could make you draw 3 cards in cleanup without making you take an extra, turn, though even then it was ruled that simply trying and failing to make you take another turn counted as a thing that Outpost still needed to do, and that thing happened after the current turn was over.

I'm not aware of any other way than with Outpost v.1.
In that sense changing the Duration rule to "after this turn" would probably be the least intrusive rules change if you wanted to make the Squirrel ruling consistent with the rules.

Yes I think this makes the most sense, and I think it's in line with what most people think of when they think of how durations work. They think of durations as being cards that do something next turn; and thus stay in play until next turn. It requires more specific thinking about the technical wording of the rules to realize that a duration could do nothing next turn but still have something left to do during cleanup.
