John, The intended design to detect and suppress bad reference/PPS clocks is at least two additional sources, that do not have to be reference clocks. If the reference/PPS clock sails to the sunset, the selection algorithm will vote it off and the PPS will follow. The server will continue at whatever surving source stratum plus one. This might not be considered pefect, but it would avoid real disaster.
