Gradually add/remove server to/from pool in parallel to score increase/decrease

The point of this exercise was not to get a global view of the pool system. It was to prove the point that if using the global pool name pool.ntp.org, a client still only gets allocated servers from the local country zone, maybe a bit beyond. But not really from the overall global pool.

This is indeed what happens.

Alternative solution: instead changing scores and complex mechanism, why not simply changing the zone creation algorithm?

1. why not simply get the rid of country zones and have everyone fall back to the continent zones?
2. For small continent zones (Africa, South America), then add extra servers from elsewhere

Ask has commented about this before.
