Even X-tal oscillators
can be tuned over a small range by a voltage controlled capacitor.

one should remember that tunability is the opposite of stability/low jitter.

If we are talking about synchronization, master clock should be as stable as
possible (i.e. xtal, and no caps), and slave clocks should be implemented as
good PLLs (good == low jitter).

In other words, tunable xtal is a bad xtal by definition.
