You didn't quote my other part of the reply about the ntpd/sensors.c

FreeBSD already supports an API for timekeeping events, complying
with the only relevant standard in this area: RFC 2783
He didn't talk about using this for timekeeping stuff in FreeBSD. He
used this an an example what could be done for RAID.
I confirm.
As you didn't asked for a specific action regarding this I try to do
it. Please correct me if I don't get it right:
Constantine, we have a standards compliant API for timekeeping events.
Any time related stuff should use this API. Please add a text and a
pointer, e.g., in the man-page and/or any other sensible place, which
tells that our RFC 2783 compliant API shall be used.
Sure, in fact, I don't think such documentation is even needed --
OpenNTPD, the primary daemon that benefits from the timedelta sensors,
resides in the ports tree, so any timedelta drivers could be implemented
as loadable kernel modules and also reside in the ports tree, to be used
together with OpenNTPD. I see no technical or architectural violations
here, merely an extra alternative for the end users.
The sensors framework itself, on the other hand, obviously cannot reside
in the ports tree.
