I guess you've never had to debug Kerberos before. Luckily, neither
have i, so i'm not one to talk. There are a number of apps that are
pretty dependent on the clocks being in sync with each other to a
degree. Granted, not everyone is running all those apps, but then it
begs the question why Fedora provides so much out of the box in the
first place. Let's assume that NTP is probably a good thing to support
out of the box on most machines, assuming we can support it right in
the first place.
