Daemons should only be added to @core if they are critical for basic
system function; NTP is recommended for most setups, but certainly not
critical.

It would be nice to have ntpdate and/or rdate though, so that the system
clock can be initialized from the network.  Trying to set it accurately
by hand can be annoying, and an accurate clock is required for some
network authentication methods like Kerberos.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
