   3.8.2. Chrony
   Fedora 16 uses Chrony as the default Network Time Protocol (NTP)
   client. Chrony is designed to work well even on systems with no
   permanent network connection (such as laptops), and is capable of
   much faster time synchronisation than standard ntp. Chrony has
   several advantages when used in systems running on virtual machines,
   such as a larger range for frequency correction to help correct
   quickly drifting clocks, and better response to rapid changes in the
   clock frequency. It also has a smaller memory footprint and no
   unnecessary process wakeups, improving power efficiency. 

Since Chrony is installed by default, ntpd is not.

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