The problem with the NTP project is that the development is closed. Even the most trivial bugs take a lot of effort to fix. It's possible to pay them to be a NTP forum member and increase the chances of them accepting the patches, but that's not what I'd call an open development.
Also, we are carrying an intrusive (and not very easy to port) patch that was rejected -- the power saving patch. I have to admit I was hoping I could drop it one day if chrony was the default client.
There was a "super accurate timing" thread a few days ago. Certainly much newer than the alternatives, so I suppose it is also more "immature". Still interesting, though.
