I'm not sure how many users of ntp are there. As a replacement, we
could package ntpsec. It is an actively maintained fork of ntp which
has removed a lot of code and fixed or avoided most of the issues in
ntp. What I don't like much about it is that they kept the mode-6
protocol of NTP, which allows traffic amplification and is still
causing problems on Internet, but I think the code and the project are
definitely in a better shape than ntp. I can help with the packaging
or review, and as a comaintainer if there is a volunteer for the
role of the primary maintainer.
I use ntp heavily for multiple stratum 1 timeservers here. If you
drop ntp, I will have to build my own from source. Not a big problem,
but I'd personally like to see ntp stay available in Fedora.
Would NTPSec (https://www.ntpsec.org/accomplishments.html) work for you?
Probably. They appear to have kept the nmea and pps drivers. I'll have to build a copy and give it a try to be sure.
