[time-nuts] NIST UT1 NTP server results

[Bob Camp]

HI

I agree that there are more considerations than simply changing the world over
to UT1. My guess is that the TimeNuts list is unlikely to answer those questions. 
We *could* get a handful of servers running. Experimenting with them is likely
a prerequisite to any change down the road.
