I trust the hardware clock enough that there should be an option
not to wait for ntpdate.  The machine boots within a few hours
(usually, mere minutes) of controlled shutdown.  Plus, I'm willing
to tolerate a slop of 2 or 3 seconds for the first half a minute,
in order to save 15 seconds of time at bootup.
