FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-16:16.ntp

[Roger Marquis]

Despite the risk of beating a dead horse (apologies to non-native
english speakers for the acronym), as I cannot recall discussion of
migrating base, and since replacing ntpd with openntpd has been standard
practice in security-oriented environments for a few years now, perhaps
someone on the sec team could help me with this question:

What are the reasons FreeBSD has not deprecated ntpd in favor of
openntpd?
