These things are needed for the core protocol.  You cannot act as a 
valid server to even the most primitive of valid clients without them.
They are not diagnostic information for ntpq, they are needed to 
construct a valid server packet.

Without them you don't even have a compliant SNTP server; you basically 
have an RDATE like server with sub-second resolution.
