Question to the hard-core ntp jocks: Would anything break within the
internal of ntp if the stratum of a reference clock were to be
forcefully changed from the traditional stratum-1 for a correctly
running reference to, say, stratum-5 for a gps with really crummy EPE
that might be giving good time, but then again might not?
Stratum 5 would not be an appropriate number for a machine whose
refclock has wigged out. Stratum 16 would be more appropriate in
that case.
But it would definitely be good if the GPS refclock drivers could
be updated to consider additional information such as EPE or HDOP, so
that they would be more likely to know when their information is good
and when it is not.
