Yawn.  We disabled interleave a while ago.

Interleave is the best way to get the next major step in accurate time
using the NTP Protocol.  Yes, it needs work.  A reference implementation
is where this work happens.

Yes, we have another release about to happen.  Mostly "security" bugs
that folks will not see, if they're being at all responsible.

Eric, you are loved and appreciated, and respected and admired.
