AFAIK, "Father time" and the NTP foundation take care of the whole ntp.org, as well as all related projects listed there:
* NTP
* PTPd
* Linux PTP
* RADclock
* GPSD
* GT API
RADclock, for example, is seriously cool stuff. It might make much more sense to throw resources at it instead of writing yet another half-featured, low-precision ntp client or server.
The less said about PTP, the better. But it is critically important anywhere it is deployed, otherwise something else would have been used.
So, it is not just about NTP code. It is not even just about NTP.
