I can’t think of another area in which asking a hostile for advice is a

what Tails htpdate is doing.Indeed, it should probably discard information that is diverging too
much from what others tell us. Care to file a “research” ticket
about it?

Tails htpdate - why use time information from neutral and foe pools?
Please research if it was more secure if you had pal_pool_1, pal_pool_2, pal_pool_3 rather than neutral and foe pools.
