Chrony very likely is a suitable replacement for NTPd,
If I'd only find out how to connect my serial DCF77 clock to chrony, this might become true.
The very last paragraph in the comparison I linked previously, ntp-refclock is mentioned:
OK, so I should replace ntpd with ntpd plus chrony?
No. ntp-refclock *reuses* hardware drivers distributed as part of ntp and makes them work standalone. It is a very tiny part of ntp. Of course someone could just do a fork of ntp with only the drivers and delete the ntp daemon itself. That would be a win for everybody, nobody would cry "NIH", or blame someone for segmentation. NOT! The NTP *core* is showing its age, so it makes sense to replace it, but reuse as much as possible.
