That is crazy.

I assume that for server-server stuff we can simply properly sync them to NTP.

But the more important question is, could clients with bad clocks (which is 
very common i think) get in trouble here?

Is there anything in the APIs or objects that are send around that could go bad 
with a bad local time?
