# 1.16 06-Nov-2019 deraadt

Perform contraint validation against 9.9.9.9 and 2620:fe::fe also (which
avoids DNS lookups entirely, but yes this https is correctly validated)
long discussions with otto, florian, and the quad9 crew.

# 1.15 04-Jul-2019 deraadt

add server time.cloudflare.com.
- Cloudflare have very good adjacency (if PCH did anycast ntp, we'd use it)
- As ntp input, it is great they don't leapsmear
- Not all their nodes do ntp, hope they succeed at scaling that up
- ntpd constrains (un-auth) ntp packets within a TLS constraint window
so there is no downside (unlike pool.ntp entries which slowly decay
but that's a story for another commit..)
ok otto

# 1.13 18-May-2015 deraadt

enable ntpd by default at install time. We use pools and a reliable
constraint to keep them in check. in the worst case of being on a
dark net, nothing changes.

this is being enabled by default to allow gathering of more operational
information from users. and if the operational heuristics in ntpd can be
suitable refined, this may stay the default into the future. if not, ntpd
will become even more awesome along the way.

make this a reasonable default; don't listen anywhere and sync to
