It is still unfortunate that time had to be wasted on this (and other ntpd advisories). Much time and insecurity could have been saved by migrating ntpd to ports and openntpd to base. One too many cases exactly like this are why OpenBSD and HardenedBSD forked of course, but it is still not at all clear why openntpd and other tested and proven security changes haven't been pulled in to FreeBSD.
