All of which are not congruent with the "Best Practices" document
that comes from DHS/NCCIC/USNO/NIST/USCG/etc.

The sysadmins of the world have made it very clear that they are
rejecting the sovereignty of frequency and the directives of ITU-R
TF.460 in favor of smears applied as is convenient.  This is telling
the ITU-R that the status quo is not acceptable and that their
recommendations are on the verge of being irrelevant.

This a huge gulf between the sysadmins, their regulators who have
required the use of UTC rather than TAI or GPS, and the precice time
and frequency communities.
