No management required can be better than "easily managed". This is a more recent implication of direction: http://www.eevblog.com/forum/oshw/%27laureline%27-embedded-gps-ntp-server/msg435951/#msg435951 However you're showing a bias which steers away from a better solution, not needing the overhead of fully-featured NTPd isn't a defect it's an advantage. A Laureline is a better NTP response provider than an RPi (see mike cook's plots) and doesn't require *any* configuration or monitoring (but mike cook shows graphs for those that care about such things). No compiling, no OS updates, no conf file fiddling, no management. Literally plug and play. There is still a to-be-fixed leap-second issue but it is documented to support keyed connections and multi-cast.
