Great.  If you take it to the next level you need to start graphing
your NTP results, like this:

Mostly for debugging.  You can see in the stats when the NME time
goes wonky, and if so, how far.  If your NMEA time is stable, then
by carefully tuning your fudge you may be able to bring it back in the
mix.  As long as you also have exteranl chimers to outvote it when it
goes wild.

Yeah.  If it ain't broke for you, don't fix it, but 3.11 is broken for
a lot of people.  The ntpd version has a ton of CERTs out on it...
