Description

Chrony is a more modern and more lightweight implementation of NTP. See the comparison table https://chrony.tuxfamily.org/comparison.html

I believe VyOS will benefit from a replacement.

The reason *I* use chrony with my linux qemu guests, is that it supports using the kvm_ptp to get the kvm hypervisor's time as sync source, and I then don't need the VM to chat with NTP servers.

Would the needed pull requests to enable kvm_ptp, with the needed module loading and configurations, be some that would be acceptable?
