Refclock 1 (LOCAL/LOCL) is deprecated and I believe as of a recent release
it's useless* but "Orphan mode is intended to replace the local clock
driver. It provides a single simulated UTC source ...".  Note that I
provided a link not any commentary on the correctness of the claims at that
link.  It would be nice if the Chrony docs told the truth but likewise the
NTP docs.

*Previously LOCL+PPS was a useful configuration, now you need (or should)
use kernel PPS.
