BTW, is timesyncd == timedated? Because the FESCo ruling was about timedated. If it's just a name-change, fine. But if it's a new implementation, we may want a new investigation.
Those are two different things. Timesyncd is simple SNTP client (plus time restoration over reboot, for things without RTC). Timedated is providing an API + utility to set system timezone and time and to toggle external time sync. There are two implementation of timedated: – systemd's on, this only toggles timesyncd as synchronisation mechanism – timedatex, which can toggle arbitrary NTP daemon
Yeah, and the FESCo ticket was answering the question whether it replacing systemd-timedated with timedatex was safe (probably the first instance of two packages fighting over a D-Bus service name) and desirable (for Fedora to keep using a full NTP client, overriding systemd-timedated’s bait-and-switch from supporting the major NTP daemons to only supporting timesyncd).
