There was this interesting comment at the end of the minutes:

Could some explain exactly what that means? Is this a question of
certain protocols (DNS and Kerberos come immediately to mind) that
require that two interacting servers keep their clocks within X minutes
of each other in order for various security requirements to work
correctly or ro be assumed to be valid? Is it something else?
