Is there any interest in a patch to select across multiple PPS lines (maybe median of the available lines, or maybe
using clock_combine) instead of just blindly taking the first one? This would also allow us to take the second available
PPS line if the first one fails the "within 400ms" requirement.
Also, would it make sense to add a flag for "PPS, but with known time" which could be used in eg GPSD_JSON(N+128)
refclocks, indicating that while this is a PPS input, it is *also* a clock that knows what time it is.
Finally, how maintained is GPSD_JSON? There's some pretty big show-stoppers I filed at
https://bugs.ntp.org/buglist.cgi?product=ntp&component=refclock%20-%20gpsdjson&resolution=---&list_id=15257 (that now
have patches attached).
