I'd say that should be a new separate service run on boot and
shutdown. As we have learned in the other thread, the chronyd service
can't even know if it's started for the first time after boot and
should restore the time from the file, or was just restarted.

Is texinfo no longer considered acceptable? The documentation is
included also as plain text in /usr/share/doc/chrony-1.28/chrony.txt
if you don't like the info format.
