Can we please stop this ridiculous fiction that ntpd is not maintained
before people in other parts of the internet start pointing at us and
laughing at what a bunch of uninformed rubes we are?

The ntpd developers have, in the past six months, accepted and then
released an enhancement that originated right here in freebsd. Just two
days ago they accepted a patch from me for a small bugfix.

Ntpd is very much actively maintained.
