OpenNTP is not disciplined enough to be a source of time for other
systems; it's great for end-nodes which consume time synchronisation
sources, as the privsep OpenBSD design is more inspiring of trust than
the reference ntpd's design.

I'm running a custom fork of OpenNTP, to get current OpenBSD source
running on FreeBSD; I'd hoped to get time to sort out some kind of
leap-second handling before the leapsecond this July 1st, but I doubt I
will.  So instead, I'll probably switch back to ntpd to ride out the
leapsecond, then switch back.
