I really don't see how any of this justifies the severe inconvenience
this will cause just about anyone using ntpdate on -current. Sure they
can change it back, but I do not think it's appropriate to impose the
burden or the surprise on the people using -current. There are plenty
of other ways to 'test' ntpd. The boot time delay is just too much.
Alternatively you can consider it this way: I tried it. It took 3
minutes. Test complete, Result == complete failure as a boot time
mechanism. I really would like to see this change reverted. This is
a bad time to break even more things in -current then are already broken.
