Presumably the release notes should also say that most people should
consider systemd-timesyncd as this is priority:standard (since at
least buster, but i dont remember seeing this in release notes then)?
- i assume the idea is that if you dont have any special needs beyond
"set the clock" should use systemd-timesyncd, And people who need
extra features (like running their own ntp server) should install
ntpsec / chrony / opennntpd ?
