Quite interesting!

I'm curious about the use cases - I'd guess for distributed databases that rely on time synchronization? Or even for more general systems, accepting the time drift as a minor downside? (if the latter, is it planned to add external influence? it feels like it'd be possible to "smear" byztime to steer it closer to external time sources?)
