That's what the offset option in the refclock directive does.

The chrony's refclock driver uses the PPSAPI just to get the
timestamps collected by kernel, the clock is still discplined only by
chrony. What you are probably referring to is the kernel PPS
discipline, called kernel consumer, it's basically a FLL with 1 sec
polling interval and it has to be enabled by a PPSAPI call. Chrony
doesn't do that.

I agree, it could be a database of delays for known broken GPS
units/firmwares.
