> The alternative approaches are as I see it:
> 1. Continue the status quo, where we have no way to signal smearing, no consistent smearing cadence, and clients avoiding mixing smeared/non-smeared servers. Nothing improves.
> 2. Introduce some means to communicate the existence of smearing, and either standardising the smearing cadence or have some way of signalling it. Clients may be able to mix same-cadence smearing servers but cannot mix between smearing and non-smearing. This only legitimises the status quo bodge and makes it explicit.

I am not a time expert. If those are the only two choices – and we need to see if others step forward – then my view is that #2 is clearly better.
