Over on the Fedora-arm list I am looking into systemd-timesync:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-timesyncd

So what version of systemd is in F22 and F23b?

It seems that timedatectl (which is in F22) controls this, but it is not 
acting like mentioned at the above site:

  The daemon saves the current clock to disk every time a new NTP sync 
has been acquired, and uses this to possibly correct the system clock 
early at bootup, in order to accommodate for systems that lack an RTC 
such as the Raspberry Pi and embedded devices, and make sure that time 
monotonically progresses on these systems, even if it is not always correct.

Every time the system (armv7 with no rtc) boots without a network 
connection the date stays at 1-1-70.
