The project has been hungry for years.

There was a fork to clean up and secure the implementation: https://ntpsec.org and ideally they would combine forces.

Yeah the ntpsec story, not great. I don't believe they're taken especially seriously. There are people close to Harlan Stenn who believe the project is essentially fraudulent.

An ntpd-rs contributor elsewhere in the thread suggests ntpsec is used by many distributions, and suggests donating to ntpsec (amongst some other organisations).

Every distribution I've seen is using chrony or systemd-timesyncd. Is there a distribution that's actually using ntpsec?
