We have that in our NTP appliances as well. You can configure it to any stratum level you want and it is used as a last resort fallback in case the receiver lost reception and the (also configurable) so-called trust time has passed without the signal coming back. This results in the time server replying with stratum 12 (for example) after a while and ensures that everybody has the same time, although it might be wrong. If a user does not want that, they can simply set the local clock stratum to 15 and the server will not be accepted anymore. Can you please let me know why you consider this a "bad implementation"?
