alkopedia, That's not the point. No matter how much you trust the Cs, do you trust the seconds numbering? Say you reliably number the seconds and then disconnect the numbering source. Obviously, you have to reestablish nunmbering every time you reboot. Would you require renumbering when the daemon is restarted? Do you assume nothing happens that might torque the clock to another second, such as a stuck interrupt, or any hardware disruption. How long are you willing to wait before requiring renumbering? A day, a week, forever?
There is a really simple thing to do exactly as you wish. Use the configuration I recommended and enable orphan mode. This works only if the kernel PPS is operating.
