Yes they do. http://www.pool.ntp.org/scores/ In fact the page linked to even specifically mentions removing bad servers from the pool in real time.

You talk about "amateur hour" but are seemingly unaware that unless you are running an NTP server for a significant number of users yourself, you should not be using time.nist.gov. Given that you're apparently currently using the pool, I'm guessing you're not.




I was talking about this kind of monitoring: http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/pixie_ntp.html

I never said that I'm a time expert.

Regarding time.nist.gov, it's still there in the list of Windows 10 NTP servers that a user can select, albeit, by default it will only be polled once per week.
