And the promptly forget about it.  Tracking useless information wastes
everyone's time.

It's called pool.ntp.org.

Really.  Much of ntp.org needs cleaning or purging but since offers to
assist are ignored this seems like something simple.  Just remove the list
and replace it with a link to the pool which has the advantage of being
maintained.  The OP's real problem is republishing junk.  Fortunately it's
harmless because most soon-to-be pool members will find a better solution.

PS. How to answer the OPs problem if you're in the US given this guidance
"but should configure some good servers
<http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/StratumTwoTimeServers> manually
(those servers *may* be chosen from the pool...)".

$ for j in $(for i in 0 1 2 3;do host $i.us.pool.ntp.org;done|cut -d ' '
-f4|sort -u|grep '^[0-9]');do ntpdate -dp1 $j|egrep
'^server|^stratum|^offset';done

Pick the ones you like from the list you get back.
