Public bug reported:
The default /etc/chrony/chrony.conf includes:
# Step the system clock instead of slewing it if the adjustment is larger than
# one second, but only in the first three clock updates.
makestep 1 3
This is unexpected as a default for an NTP tool. Having your clock jump
forward or backwards when the service starts/restarts is not ideal in
any situation where you want a monotonic and predictable clock. I
suggest the default should be to have this line commented out.
