Why? IIUC that is the legacy script, and bsdinstall is offering
ntpd_sync_on_start for a few years now [0] instead in line with this
advice. Also, ntpdate is scheduled for removal upstream.
Seems to me we should add a warning to rc.d/ntpdate instead
suggesting that operators switch to ntpd_sync_on_start?
