Yes - but these are design issues - and are pertinent to the need to make NTP a single-stop solution rather than just a time-movement process. > In addition, it can be admitted as evidence in court in its current > incarnation.

Sort of - I want accountability in all of these code decisions to rest where it belongs - with the parties certifying the fitness of this product and if this crew - the NTP.ISC.ORG team is not warrantying that then we (NTP.ISC.ORG and I) have an issue I think. NTP is a very important part of auditing and trust verification and for it to be only randomly tested by a group of people who participate as a hobby is an issue again I think. NTP as a tool needs accountability in its use and operations. I think that is key to getting industry-wide acceptance of this NTP services. The idea that NTP should be distributed under a "No Specific Fitness for Any Purpose" limitations is silly IMHO.
