I use "refclockd" as a tag to describe a great cleanup.  I haven't seen a 
serious proposal so there aren't any details to discuss.

Moving the code that understands refclocks to a separate address space should 
improve security.

Any cleanup to the SHM area should set things up so that the reader side 
doesn't need write access.  That allows multiple readers so you can use 
monitoring tools while ntpd is running.
