Thanks.  I'm afraid the consensus has to come from the operators,
not from FreeBSD folks.

If the operators were required to support it, I think everyone
should slave the roots, not just those running busy servers.  Just
like I'd think everyone should sync with stratum-1 servers if
those operators supported everyone doing that.
