I think a change to remove chronyd in favor of timesyncd might be accepted for Workstation.


Should be transparent change basically we are talking about something like

sudo dnf remove chrony

Enabling and starting systemd-timesyncd

sudo systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd.service
sudo systemctl start systemd-timesyncd.service

And perhaps have NM configure timesyncd to use the NTP servers provided by DHCP on roaming wifi ( switching between work/home/uni/coffeeshop etc ). 

sudo cat > /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-update-timesyncd << 'EOF'

        echo "NTP=$DHCP4_NTP_SERVERS"

Do people think something more would be needed for the workstation to switch to timesyncd? 
What's the paperwork for this change? 
would a ticket in the workstation suffice or are we talking about official change proposal ( which means I would have to act fast if the deadline has not expired already for F33 )?
