 (Ignoring your mischaracterization of what I said and the strawman

I think you engage in a great deal of idle speculation.  We have thousands
of clients served from three S2 servers (so 0% need for refclock support).
There are three S1 servers on campus (not yet in production).  All three
required building NTPd, one required a driver patch and one required
building a kernel.
