it is actually not. There are cases where you can reach the gateway, but not reach anything else. So I am fine with making this behavior optional based on a main.conf setting, but just removing it is not an option. We do want ConnMan to figure things out by itself and FallbackTimeservers are a bad choice here. So if you want to not fallback to a gateway as NTP server, then please add a configuration option in main.conf that allows disabling this behavior.
