Thanks.
Looks good. I'll send some more comments in separate messages.
I'm getting closer to actually working on SINGLEBUFFER.
Possible additions:
Refclock cleanup. The idea is to split the individual refclocks out from the
main ntpd package. I don't have good ideas on how to do it. Maybe use a
pipe. Maybe use SHM. ??? The current API is (much?) more complicated than
the obvious refclock stuff. There is also msyslog and record_clock_stats and
probably others.
SHM cleanup. The reading side should be read only.
Better testing. We need live testing as well as build-time tests.
Release procedures: I was disappointed with the last release. I don't have a
simple suggestion on how to fix it, but NetBSD 8 was out for a long time
before our release. This may be tangled up with testing procedures.

What's the relation between your message and devel/TODO?
Should we have a semi-systematic process to review the task list occasionally?
I'm thinking of roughly monthly. Sooner if there has been a big change.
Longer if we are all working on something. But not so long that we don't
pause occasionally to review what we should be doing.
