Will 10.2 also ship with a very stale NTP?

I realise you are talking about stable software in base, but for info,
phk's replacement is called 'ntimed' and can be found on github, and
also in /usr/ports/net/ntimed/ - it's unfinished and we are not advised
to run it on production systems, but living dangerously, I've been
running it on 4 servers for a few months with no issues (although I had
to make some 'glue' changes to make it stable.)
