--- Comment #2 from Ian Lepore <ian@FreeBSD.org> ---
I just stumbled across this; I updated ntp.conf to use the pool keyword last
year, without realizing this PR was here.  I didn't realize until finding t=
his
that the -4/-6 flags had become meaningless in ntp.conf.  I've opened a
phabricator review to make that part of your changes to ntp.conf

It turns out that it is also no longer necessary to use the 'preempt' keywo=
rd
on pool statements. Associations mobilized via pools are automatically
preemptable in exactly the same way as those mobilized via manycast.  I
verified that our current ntp.conf pool statement behaves this way by adding
ipfw rules to block packets from all the servers shown by ntpq -p.  As they
became unreachable the associations were dropped and new ones were mobilize=
d to
keep at least the number of good peers set by 'tos minclock'.
