The kernel discipline is disabled if the tinker step threshold is raised above one-half second (including 0, which is treated as infinite step threshold). His configuration changed stepout, not step, so I doubt the kernel discipline is disabled. Nickolay can confirm by looking at syslog freq_set events, which mention ntpd or kern to describe the loop discipline selection.
