https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D210245 --- Comment #1 from Paul J Murphy <paul@inetstat.net> --- Some additional motivation / justification for this modernisation. The IETF NTP WG's best current practice draft discourages the use of 3 and even 4 sources. It is defining best current practice to use the automatic "pool" configuration command (or equivalent), with more than 4 sources (4 instance= s of the command results in more than 4 sources). Network Time Protocol Best Current Practices <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-reilly-ntp-bcp-02#section-4.1>; This might still be at the draft stage, but this particular issue is one wh= ere it is entirely safe to be ahead of the final standard / recommendation. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
