I'm not necessarily proposing the same exact setup as ntp's pool. More what I 
had in mind is that there seems to be a pool of willing programmers for 
opennic who could automate this problem away. Example - the list doesn't show 
you until your server has passed 95% of testing for two straight weeks. If it 
goes down for 2 hours/days/weeks, it automatically un-lists, even if the 
maintainer communicated downtime.

I'm just making up crap numbers to help picture the general idea.
