I am using this, and as you have pointed out below, we will cut the
names. Also, because of the next sentence, we will not really need
to discourage use of two time daemons. Just show the information
about temporal chaos. The reasoning for this is the next sentence
where the user is informed about how to run two time daemons in a
cooperative manner:

Therefore, this should terminate the use of ``or others'' and the
mentioning of ``timed(8) and ntpd(8)''.
This last sentence also invalidates the suggested ``do not attempt to
run ntpd(8) and timed(8) ...''. Thank you so much for the input Ceri
