With all due respect, I'll formulate the following opinion: The coast
and step behaviour can't be placed in the acceptable category.

 - Gives wrong time on the machine.
 - Serves wrong time to downstream clients.
 - Does a step backward at some unpredictable moment.
 - Depends on sources leaping well or not.
