As much as I prefer, and defend, the gpsd/ntpd combo, I also understand
there is resistance from a lot of people that want to keep things
really simple. Strong resistance. Based on good reasons.
And I have to say the current gpsd/ntpd handshake is just not very good
right now. The GPSD NG driver has seriously bad bahavior by default
and the SHM driver depends on a deprecated syscall.
In both the above cases let's not make the best solution get in the way
of the good enough one.
gpsd really shines for standalone, non-network time keeping, and that is
where ntpd, by design, sucks. So until a good working handshake is
rock solid, and standalone is well supported, I say keep 20.
