I'm still waiting for the good reason.  You can't ask the user to
pick good offsets when he does not have the data for it.

AFAIK there has been universal agreement that your
'use-performance-logging' logging is good.  It should be the default, no
further thinking required.

You might want to put the snippets someehere other than /etc/  Maybe
/etc/ntd.d or similar?

I am seeing what I assume to be sideral effects on a 24 hour cycle.
Overlaid on that is a day or two of startup settling, and obvious
room temperature effects.  I have trouble telling the apart with 4
days or less data.
