>From http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.html:

"To allow you to use the pool as the default time service in your
application, we will set you up with special hostnames, for example
0.vendor.pool.ntp.org, 1.vendor.pool.ntp.org, 2.vendor.pool.ntp.org
and 3.vendor.pool.ntp.org.
You must absolutely not use the default pool.ntp.org zone names as the
default configuration in your application or appliance."

Someone -- probably someone on the TSC I suspect as a representative
of the YP -- should register a vendor pool so we can default to
0.yocto.pool.ntp.org or something similar.
