I've got a couple of folks wondering about driver46. I'll let Juergen
discuss this.
He has reasons for suggesting that driver46 is a better way to
communicate with gpsd. I don't recall what they were, offhand.
SHM has its uses, and it has its problems.
Some have also suggested using chrony pipes as a way to get timestamps
in to NTP.
Now I'm trying to remember another discussion where the issue is 'we
have a refclock that will give us the "time" but not the "date".' as I
recall that has bearing on the SHM driver. Personally, I don't
understand why we should support these devices, but apparently it's
important to some folks and perhaps I just don't understand the issue.
