If I'm interpreting the popcon pages right, ntpsec 228 users chrony 4686 users ntp 47485 users I'd much rather let someone else debug ntpsec. ntp has been around for ages, so while it might be hard to change I'm guessing most of the bugs have been fixed by now. If you haven't seen it, the "The future of src:ntp" thread on debian-devel is worth a read. tl-dr: https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/blogs/securing-network-time/ If I wanted to replace whatever timekeeping software that comes with systemd and _didn't_ want ntp, I'd pick chrony.
