It's not entirely obvious to me that it really does need to be fixed all
that urgently, at least not in the default metadata.  The sky is
probably not going to fall in if you ship a service file which doesn't
sync with NTP by default.  

In particular, if it's been broken in meta-oe for however long up to
this point, I don't entirely understand why moving the recipe to
meta-networking suddenly means that fixing this issue is super-important
or why the two things need to be done at the same time.

But, anyway, see other email I just sent for a handful of alternatives.
