Yeah, and the FESCo ticket was answering the question whether it replacing
systemd-timedated with timedatex was safe (probably the first instance of
two packages fighting over a D-Bus service name) and desirable (for Fedora
to keep using a full NTP client, overriding systemd-timedated’s
bait-and-switch from supporting the major NTP daemons to only supporting
timesyncd).
