Sorry if I have to ask, but is pool.ntp.org not good enough for
Ubuntu?

NTP is strong in a decentralised way. It gets better the closer you
are to the time servers, and it surely doesn't like downtime very
much.

What's the point of using a single NTP server for all Ubuntu
installs, rather than the pool.ntp.org network started by a Debian
developer for precisely the reason to avoid one central server?
