So frustrated that Cloudflare didn't just add resources/support the existing NTP Pool. Hard to even pretend their motives are altruistic at this point.
The internet is supposed to be distributed. If the NTP pool admins go nuts, have a fight etc, I'm glad there is an alternative. You can generally specify multiple sources, this would be a new source.
And it's always the BS "they're evil" argument - when the posters contribute nothing themselves to progress.
Frustrating indeed.
Another example would be governmental capture of some chunk of the current NTP admins or something.
An organization, by its nature, is vulnerable to some potential single point of failure. Low probability, sure, but having a competing organization ready to step in can actually help keep that probability low by keeping the focus on.
