      1. Proposed title of this feature request
      [RFE] Add /etc/sysconfig/chronyd support to rhel-system-roles.timesync

      2. Who is the customer behind the request?
      TMX, 868316
      TAM customer: yes (dberry)
      CSE customer: yes (echeng)
      Strategic: yes

      3. What is the nature and description of the request?
      Modify the timesync role template to configure /etc/sysconfig/chronyd
      The current template does not support it:

      [admin@db9a rhel-system-roles.timesync]$ cat templates/chronyd.sysconfig.j2
      {{ ansible_managed | comment }}
      {{ "system_role:timesync" | comment(prefix="", postfix="") }}

      OPTIONS=""

      4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
      They want to configure CIS values in /etc/sysconfig/chronyd
      "The /etc/sysconfig/chronyd file is being reset and I need it to either be left alone, or have the option of adding configuration back to that file."
      "The /etc/sysconfig/chronyd file gets cleared and no OPTIONS get set"

      5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
      Update the template to support variables

      6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
      create and run a playbook that uses the timesync role

      7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?
      Not that I can find

      8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL8, RHEL9)?
      RHEL 8 and 9

      9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
      no

      10. List any affected packages or components.
      rhel-system-roles

      11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
      yes
