Given the size of the US, wouldn't it make sense to narrow further
down the servers in the NTP pool for the US, if not down to states
(e.g., tx.us.pool.ntp.org) at least down to time-zones (e.g.,
cst.us.pool.ntp.org) in order to improve the delay to the reference
hosts?

Or perhaps more genericaly, why not in addition to countries also
group servers by continental time-zones in order to achieve the same
throughout the world, say cst.north-america.pool.ntp.org (US/Central),
wet.europe.pool.ntp.org (W. Europe), cst.oceania.pool.ntp.org
(Australia), etc?
