Danny,
We would not be having this discussion if folks read "how NTP works" in
the online documentation. The maximum number of selectable candidates is
not limited to ten. Ten is the high water mark for the number of
preemptable candidates mobilized by the manycast and pool modes.

The only answer is to have at least 10000000000001 clocks although that
is also not foolproof:-)
Actually no. If you get too many reference clocks they will start to
gang up against each other and it becomes impossibly complex to try and
decide which set to use. As the number of clocks increase the number of
gangs will likely increase. That's why the reference implementation
limits the number of reference clocks to 10.
