okay. two valid cases to be concerned about:
The most valid case is when we all go and buy GPS receivers from the
same vendor who turns out to have a bug or a vulnerability of some form.
The other valid case is if the defense department brought down the
sattelite system for some odd reason. And they seem to not have a
shortage of odd reasons.
Some sort of a backup, such as PPS, or WWV* is nice, but so long as
there are a few of these in the network somewhere, life should go on.
Many enterprise networks run with 0 stratum 1s.
