Actually, systemd 216 will cram systemd-timesyncd down your throat even if you had ntpd installed.
Yeah, I think a lot of the upset with systemd is not so much with the core daemon that runs as PID 1, but with the massive scope creep that the systemd project appears to have. Why should a project centered around an init system start reimplementing system logging, network management (and a DHCP client), clock management, etc.?
Lennart's attitude was pretty much "why would anybody want to run ntpd when they have our SNTP implementation":
Wow, maybe because SNTP is inferior to an actual NTP daemon in just about every way? -- Chris Adams <cma () cmadams net>
