I fully agree with comment 6 by Perry E. Metzger. Switching to ntp pool
should not be a security issue as bad servers are automatically filtered
from the pool. Additionally, bad servers are detected by the NTP
algorithm if enough servers are selected (they are called
"falsetickers", see
<http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/SelectingOffsiteNTPServers#Section_5.3.3.>).
4 servers should be enough for most cases.
