I have been observing time.cloudflare.com latency and accuracy the past 3 days.
It is a stratum 3 server, so folks might think that it's not as good as a Stratum 1 or Stratum 2. BUT... it has exceptionally low latency and it seems very likely it's Stratum 3 because it is fed by a well-maintained set of highly redundant sources. The NTP stratum hierarchy is not a bad idea but really no end-user has any actual need to hook up to a real Stratum 1 and would almost always be better suited to choose a lower stratum server fed with a highly curated list of good Stratum 1/2's. It seems possible given cloudflare's diverse geographic servers, that folks will get directed to a nearby low-latency server every time they resolve the name.
