Indeed. I agree that the servers in the pool are not the main source of the problems. However, they do represent a large group of people who actually know what NTP is, and can be contacted relatively easier. No fighting your way through an abuse department convincing them there's actually a problem.

Plus, any server that can be exploited is just adding to the chaos right now.

I have some more information this that I can't disclose, but I'm confident that the 
number of "open for reflection" servers in the NTP Pool is a very minor part of 
the problem overall (and also that compared to all the others then we have a clear path 
to get it sorted because for starters we have some contact information for those IPs 
that's more relevant than whatever is in whois).
