Here is the corresponding debate between the ntp guys and the OpenBSD guys (from 2004):

http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive/misc/0408/msg00562.htm...

The TLDR from the OpenBSD side of things:

    Hey, if ultra-precision time is an issue,
    go buy an atomic clock, I'm sure if your needs
    are that precise, you can probably afford it.

    openntpd is intended to be SMALL, SIMPLE and SECURE.
    Not HUGE, COMPLEX and "Hope for the Best".
