I'm skeptical and am more inclined to think ntp has measurement
problems or a decimal has been missed or something but it's easy to
check with real world direct simple data which I always prefer, so we
shall see.

The reason I am skeptical is I have lots of machines that don't use ntp
and I'd expect but of course could be very wrong that I would have
noticed if I had to fix the clocks by 8 minutes per year. I'll mark
this mail and let the list know.

What I am less likely to get around to is comparing this data to what
ntp would suggest the skew is for each machine, but no matter for now.
