As long as the smearing is slow enough, the client servers easily track the drift. There is a bump in their drift, but it's not a problem for ntp. It's on the same scale as a big change in temperature. If you are trying to use your drift as a thermometer, things will get screwed up. If you know the parameters of the smearing server, you could probably correct for it. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.
