If you want your system to tick TAI, clockspeed is the only game in
town.

I have some prototype code to handle this.  It's a bit kludgy, but it
seems to work well enough on 50+ machines here.

But in general you're right: xntpd is time synchronization for the
masses; clockspeed (as yet) is only for those who like playing with
their toys, or have serious religious objections to UTC.
