The traditional rdate command doesn't have a -v option and you're supposing we 
add this feature to a version that's optimized for size?  (Now I admit I 
proposed a similar addition to the losetup command, although I haven't pushed 
to have it integrated yet.)

Why do you need to know how much your clock skew is?  (Isn't this what the 
adjtime file is for?) Is your change generally useful to people other than 
yourself...?
