Thank you for the answer.

I got confused by the comments in chrony.conf:

# Use time sources from DHCP.
# Those could be non-NTS sources. If you want to avoid unauthenticated NTP
# sources comment the following line. (LP: #2115565)
sourcedir /run/chrony-dhcp

It suggests that if non-NTS sources are picked up from DHCP, they will
be used. This is not what I experienced.

If the policy is to be the most secure, I understand that we would not
want non-NTS sources unless the admin intentionally specify so.

However, I think that this is significant change of behavior for anyone
relying on DHCP-provided sources. It worked on Ubuntu 24.04 and won't on
Ubuntu 26.04. Maybe we need to add this is the release notes ?
