One avionics-class approach to rejecting bad data, is diversity in data sources combined with sanity checks by the end user. NTP supports these well although some end users configure poorly. I think it is unprofessional for a time consumer to rely on a single Stratum-1, or on a group of Stratum-1's not using diverse refclock implementations. Many time consumers will be better served by a well configured Stratum-2 or lower.
