Fallback drifts are long-term averages of the system clock drift
calculated over exponentially increasing intervals. They are used when
the clock is unsynchronised to avoid quickly drifting away from true
time if there was a short-term deviation in drift before the
synchronisation was lost.
Leap second status is accepted and forwarded to clients if majority
of selectable sources agree. The actual insertion/deletion is supported
only on Linux now.
This is a verbatim copy of the files at that stage of the repository that was
built from the CVS import. It allows future development to see a bit of recent
history, but without carrying around the baggage going back to 1997. If that
is really required, git grafts can be used.
