2164 needs discussion, unless altering the number of significant digits in
the ntpq output wouldn't break anything.  Do we need to have this
discussion?  I have looked through ntpq.c, but I can't see where the
number of decimal digits in the output for offset is set.

I'd be inclined to do what we do for sntp, which is drive the number of
emitted digits based on the precision of the time.

Yes, I agree that makes sense. I would wish to see at minimum the decimal point and tenths of milliseconds. On the system I want to monitor, the precision is reported as -19, but the offsets need at least four decimal places of milliseconds to be plotted with reasonable accuracy (i.e. tenths of microseconds are needed).

Cheers,
