The reason we have that sorting is to get consistency.
I won't add such an option to disturb it. Not to sort is completely,
utterly wrong since the order in which addresses are returned from the
service are more or less random.

I think libc is completely correct in what it's doing. The bug is in NTP.
Historically, there is some ambiguity in the interpretation of
