That's not true.  Other drivers have integrated PPSAPI support so that
you get full-service PPS (including the o instead of * in peers
billboard, and kernel PPS discipline if available) without using the
PPS/atom/#22 driver.  In particular, I know 20 (NMEA), 8 (parse), and
4 (spectracomm/WWVB) all support PPSAPI using largely common code with
the PPS driver 22.

Happy April Fools Day (UTC).  This is no joke.
