how about using ntp.ubuntu.com  since everything else in ubuntu-land is
going away from the ubuntulinux.org domain?

But with that said, having every single computer with ubuntu installed
by default pinging a single ubuntu server at every boot via ntp seems to
be a great opportunity and/or big-brother'ish way to get good statistics
of how many (and who) uses Ubuntu in the world.

That may or may not be a good thing depending on your personal level of
paranoia/privacy  (personally I couldn't care less that the ubuntu
people know that I'm running ubuntu on 2 of my computers)
