If they cause the BBB to not boot, by hooking an input to them, I would argue they should never have been brought out to the header, and that examples of how to handle this sensitivity while still making use of the header pins should be more readily available. The documentation on this sensitiv

Well in our case ntpdate + ntp.pool.org works fine. Most of the time. But I've also thought about many external work arounds, which really renders my gripe moot. An msp430g2553 for instance doesn't cost much more than an RTC, and can serve multiple purposes . . . On Thu, Apr 23, 2015 at 2:18 PM,
