If a system needs to use something TLS-protected, then the system clock
must not be too much off because a certificate might not be valid
otherwise. At least in debian there is also a fake hwclock package that
reduces the offset to the time that passed since the system was last
booted:
Sure, but is there uses for TLS without the network having come up? at which
point chronyd would have set the time correctly.
