More. There are more receivers and more dependence on
accurate time, e.g. accounting, backups, ticketing.
Somewhere, somebody, witha "blind" dependence on the
NTP presentation will be out of sync w/ their neighbors
& themselves and at best will waste time argueing about
when something happened. At worst they'll overwrite critical
data that has financial implications... I predict.
Or I could just get/stay lost...
