The other issue I remember was that ppstest and ppldisc needed to be moved to 
util-linux.  Has anyone created a patch set for that?

Bernhard put the author of the kernel convergence patch in touch with me since 
it appears that I was the first person to actually test the patch.  It appears 
that he is one of the people who works on the time related code in the kernel 
and was one of those that worked on the nanosecond modifications that went 
into 2.6.26.  He wanted more info about my results with the convergence patch.  
BTW all good so far.

I invited him to join us here since at some point soon (maybe) the LinuxPPS 
patch set will be part of the kernel and it is directly related to the code he 
helps maintain.  I don't know if he will join us but I think it is good that 
we have him as a contact since he may be able to help move kernel inclusion 
forward.
