They should just fork the kernel already and create their own OS. At least GNU/Linux would still be GNU/Linux.

Did you even read the release notes? systemd-timesync is not a NTP server, it is merely a SNTP client, similar to the ntpdate command. Nothing is deprecated here. Please don't spread FUD, but actually read the available documentation.

On ssystems without real time clock, like many embedded systems, it makes sense to have a service that sets the time correctly, so that you have actual timestamps in your logs, instead of for example milliseconds from boot. Since the systemd suite contains a logger a SNTP client is IMHO a valuable addition.

Would only be fun if I had made a statement about the code quality, but I have only made statements about the general decision to add something like that to the systemd suite. I have not, I have merely pointed out that spouting "It is broken and doesn't work right, I don't have to look!" is a different thing, I would think.
I won't comment on your last post, it is a waste of time.
