By definition, any NTP client/server connecting to a stratum 1 server becomes
a stratum 2 server, so saying it should only be used by stratum 2 servers
doesn't say much...
I think what you meant to emphasize was that a stratum 1 server should be
used only by an NTP *server* which belongs to a non-trivial organization
and which will be in-turn used by a non-trivial number of people. For example,
ntp.netvision.net.il (stratum 2) uses ntp.ilan.net.il (stratum 1).
ntp.technion.ac.il (stratum 3) uses relay.huji.ac.il (stratum 2) which uses
ntp.ilan.net.il (stratum 1). You get the idea.
