Taken from [1]:
"However, if the difference between the client time and server time is greater
than the panic threshold, which defaults to 1000 s, the daemon will send a
message to the system log and shut down without setting the clock."
On RTC-less or 'fresh' systems with unpredicatble inital date ntpd will stop
with work undone (note: I did NOT find the message mentioned above - so it
took long way to fix). This is a wide use case for using NTP in production:
No need for initial datetime setup by some operator.

* read-only rootfs cannot run postinsts on first boot and in this case
it doesn't really have to as we can create cron task in do_rootfs

${PN}-utils has greedy expression of capturing all in ${bindir}
and sntp gets swept in too. This move in PACKAGES fixes the problem
and now sntp binary is packaged in sntp package itself.

sntp provides the functionality of obsoleted ntpdate
so we have option of using ntpd as well as sntp
sntp does the immediate one time sync with time
server and corrects the tme immediately. it
replaces ntpdate nicely.

* This change is only aesthetic (unlike indentation in Python
tasks).
* Some recipes were using tabs.
* Some were using 8 spaces.
* Some were using mix or different number of spaces.
* Make them consistently use 4 spaces everywhere.
* Yocto styleguide advises to use tabs (but the only reason to keep
tabs is the need to update a lot of recipes). Lately this advice
was also merged into the styleguide on the OE wiki.
* Using 4 spaces in both types of tasks is better because it's less
error prone when someone is not sure if e.g.
do_generate_toolchain_file() is Python or shell task and also allows
to highlight every tab used in .bb, .inc, .bbappend, .bbclass as
potentially bad (shouldn't be used for indenting of multiline
variable assignments and cannot be used for Python tasks).
* Don't indent closing quote on multiline variables
we're quite inconsistent wheater it's first character on line
under opening quote or under first non-whitespace character in
previous line.

People can't blindly use pool.ntp.org, especially if they are building
for a product or something that could be used in a product, so at least
try to get people to do the right thing and not use pool.ntp.org by
default.
The previous network interface up script is now installed as
ntpdate-sync in ${bindir} (and symlinked as the network if-up script).
NTPSERVERS needs to be set in /etc/default/ntpdate.default at runtime,
or a different version of this file with a default value can be provided
in a bbappend. (If you intend to use ntpd you will also want to provide
an ntp.conf with the appropriate server(s) set there as well.)

* Move common definitions to the inc file
* Drop override of do_configure which doesn't seem to be needed anymore
* Fold ntp-ssl into the ntp recipe as a PACKAGECONFIG option for those
who want it (default to off) and fix configure-time checks to detect
OpenSSL properly so that it gets enabled when selected
* Remove ntp-bin package and put its contents in currently empty
ntp-utils package (with migration path)
* Fix hardcoded paths in ntpd initscript
* Specify ntpd.conf as a configuration file for packaging purposes
* Rearrange so that packaging definitions are towards the end in the
expected order
* Delete unused "ntp" initscript file
* Add SUMMARY
* Update HOMEPAGE
This reapplies some of the changes from the original patch by

This breaks the upgrade path since 'ntpdate' has been renamed to 'ntp-date'. I don't know why this patch was applied when it was shot down on review.
This reverts commit d102fc3fe6.
Clean up recipes to make them easier to read and to allow ntp-ssl to build
* Move common portions to ntp.inc
* Update ntp-ssl to require ntp.inc oppose to ntp_${PV}.bb
* Change ntp-ssl EXTRA_OECONF to append so it won't try to configure snmp as
it will use local paths can cause a error while configuring
