" Which leads to an interesting question: can/does ntpd find and reject
" clock sources that can't provide sufficiently low-latency responses, or
" does it blindly treat external clocking sources as authoritative because
" you told it they were?

afaik it neither rejects nor blindly accepts sources, but has
algorithms that continuously track the scatter of source time info,
and ranks them according to perceived stability.  latency isn't an
issue; it also tracks and corrects for time-of-flight between it and
sources.
