# Ghetto scheme? Previously, I mentioned a scheme in which all participants
# broadcast their time to all other participants. All participants simply
# combine what they hear and set the clock accordingly. If one or more
# participants have a reference clock, ordinary NTP rules apply. The ghetto
# rules apply when it dies. Look Ma, no local clock driver.

isn't this just bsd "timed" and wasn't that a simply terrible idea?
