Why? As long as the timed is in the base system and serves the basic need to
syncronise time across several machines in the LAN I do not see any objections to
not use it. Its main advantage that it's permit updating time via ntpdate (the
thing that xntpd doesn't allow to do) which is particularly useful for dial-up
connections.
