Nah. The key is that these attacks can cause significant problems on
the server that's being abused ;) Let's not fool ourselves into
thinking otherwise (since a lot of these abusive servers are on IPMI
controllers or routers, so not necessarily run by people with a clue).
If you're being abused for one of these attacks, you can easily fill up
your connection with attack traffic.

servers open to abuse was posted and showed a rapidly declining number of

It looks like the fix is moving faster than I think I've ever seen a fix
happen. I suppose the key is that most NTP servers are managed by folks
with a clue. :)
