  1. track in the monitor more explicitly that a kiss code was returned

  2. don't use KoD offsets when graphing

(alternatively don't log the offset when a KissCode was returned)

@hart-NTP commented on GitHub (Aug 13, 2023):

In a sense, a KoD RATE response is similar to a lack of response -- it provides no time information. In another sense, it's distinct, as it indicates there is a functioning NTP server responding in a timely, if useless, fashion.

Perhaps for scoring purposes it would make sense to treat a RATE response as a milder negative bump than a lack of response, and for offset graphing purposes, treat it similarly to a a non-response, that is, no offset data to graph.
