Depends on what you mean by take care. If you need RTC synced to
correct time, you will need to periodically run chronyc writertc
command. OTOH, RTC with ntpd is always synced as the adjtimex UNSYNC
flag is unset and kernel writes to RTC system time every 11 minutes.
We can add an option to unset the UNSYNC flag in chrony too (would be
allowed only if rtcfile is disabled).
If you only need time compensated for drift when setting system clock
from RTC on start, you can use chronyd -r or hwclock --adjust.
Having rtcfile directive in chrony.conf only enables RTC tracking, it
doesn't write to RTC nor set system clock from RTC on start unless the
-r option is used.
