In my case the lining progressively de-bonded and started to clatter 
against the bellhousing under heavy acceleration and high RPM.

Similarly, the clutch didn't owe me anything; it just happens.

Wear, age, bad master? The latter was the case for longer than I should have let it happen. New one now though.
