Another option is what they do in Japan - just get 10X the number of people on it, with all the tools for the entire job and then do it all overnight.
Also, nice to see good old "dude with shovel" in there, a tool that would have looked the same back in the 19th century.

Debian recently switched to NTPSec, and I was happy to see how familiar their website style was to the main NTP site. In the FAQ I found:
> [Q] Why do these web pages look so 1990s
> [A] Because that simple look is good for people with visual impairments, and as a tribute to Dr. David Mills, the original architect of NTP who is himself visually impaired.

I’ve never had an opportunity to meet him, but he has certainly made a positive impact on my life. Rest in peace Dr. Mills.
