The pointless proven wrong by the Hackathon.  And still needed today.

Yes, it was 100% essential for the NTS hackathon.  Otherwise NTPsec
would not be able to connect to the ostfalia servers.

Still needed today.

Maybe, just maybe, if one of the may flavors of cert pinning worked with
NTPsec then it might only be useful for debugging.

I wonder if we should revisit "noval". I think I originally argued in
favor of having it, as a standard TLS client knob. But IIRC, Daniel
suggested it was pointless.

Does NTS with noval actually buy us anything over plain NTP?
