Personally I do because thats likely what most users expect, but then
trusting foreign NTP server advertisements might be a security sensitive
topic - on the other hand one trusts the default gateway and DNS
advertisements too, so I don't know.

Whatever you prefer - I think a v2 is the easiest and I can just replace
the commit in my tree.
