I think the issues are less with the actual initial setting of the clock, 
and more with the constant adjustment of the clock that being an SNTP 
client implies.  Some could always be wondering if their clock might be 
adjust backward by some small amount, but enough to make a database update 
log entry occur in the wrong sequence, thus invalidating rollback 
processes.  This could, possibly, be alleviated somewhat by doing 
adjustments once per day, and preventing updates from happening during the 
adjustment period?
