Details

Our telemetry records the client clock for sync pings, but they are sometimes wildly inaccurate. It would be great if we could somehow arrange for a timestamp from a server to be recorded when possible as they are more likely to be correct. This might allow us to perform better time-based analysis - eg, working out how a repair impacts the validator might be somewhat noisy relying just on the client clock.
Don't we rely on the client timestamp to be relatively sane during reconciliation? A bit concerning that it's wildly inaccurate then...
That said, since we always record telemetry after a sync, it should be possible to arrange for a server timestamp to be included in the ping.
