Nope.  My master is PPS controlled, and only running in SW timestamping
mode.  

I have other PPS NTP servers on the same net dboule checking each
other and I get Icinga alerts if any lose lock.

I reboot my master about every 6 months.

My offset errors occasionally go way past 1 second.  

On one test slave I have the PTP HW set to noselect, but it will still
get selected occasionally, then boom, time races to 30, 60, 90 seconds
off before chrony deslects the device.

On another PTP HW slave, different NIC type, the offset from PHC time
to PPS time wanders +/- 800 mSec.
