It makes me wonder if, as an industry, we shouldn't just include hardware clocks in our basic expectations for a data center. That is, in order to be considered a satisfactory, non bare bones data center, you'd need to supply on-site, hardware, redundant, maintained and monitored clocks, verifiably meeting certain standards of accuracy and precision. Just like right now people expect backup power, cooling, network connectivity, physical security, access, etc. It doesn't seem like the burden would be that large for data center operators. The hardware costs don't sound large, and they already have people being paid to monitor and maintain things.
