I can't figure out what's going on.

I claim the issue was bogus.  The code as it was before your change was 
correct.

We (at least I) want the extra precision so we can tell how bad abusive 
clients are.   I sent something saying that, but it didn't make it to the 
issue tracker.

That change is a feature, not a bug.  Otherwise you can't tell how abusive 
the bad guys are.

The first part is in classic, but the extra digit for under 1 sec isn't there 
yet.

```
$ ntpq -nc "mrulist mincount=1000 sort=avgint" | more

I can't figure out what that is supposed to mean.  My first reading was that "this change" meant you were copying the code from Classic.  But that doesn't make sense since it was already there.

You seem to have removed the code I want, so maybe "this change" means a change implementing the request in the subject of the issue (which I claim is bogus).
