This is true too. but no scripts has kept the (near) perfect value of "+0ns"
for something with not exist... if someone wants the average of his own offsets he purged them before ^^

[code]
chronyc -N sourcestats | awk '{if ($2 == "0") print $1 " X X X X X (untested)"; else print $0}' | awk '{print $1, $7}'| awk '{printf "%-40s %s\n", $1, $2}' | sed '1d' | sed 's/us$/ micro seconds/' | sed 's/ns$/ nano seconds/'
[/code ;)]

gives at chronyc restart 

ntp-pool.rdem-systems.com                +1382 micro seconds
ntp-pool.rdem-systems.com                (untested)
ntp-pool.rdem-systems.com                +2479 micro seconds
ntp-pool.rdem-systems.com                (untested)
ntp-pool.rdem-systems.com                (untested)

ok so you can see than i find a workaround but it is better/more logic to permanently display "-" or a blank instead of a real fake value ;) script kiddies will make tiny changes if needed ;)
