--- 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.
