Okay, so perhaps chrony should be extended to use a "saved clock" as a time source on boot if available, and save the time in a file regularly, if it does not do so already.

I'd say that should be a new separate service run on boot and shutdown. As we have learned in the other thread, the chronyd service can't even know if it's started for the first time after boot and should restore the time from the file, or was just restarted.

ObPetPeve: The complete chrony documentation is supplied in texinfo format.

Is texinfo no longer considered acceptable? The documentation is included also as plain text in /usr/share/doc/chrony-1.28/chrony.txt if you don't like the info format.
