While we have your attention on this topic... Do you not think that this is a security issue? In that a thief could put a laptop on a network with rigged DNS and have control over the time/date on the laptop? It does seem like that we have (unintentionally?) dropped this functionality from recent builds, but it seems like we could even call it intentional: this functionality weakens the security system, and in recent builds we now have a secure way of updating the time: the olpc-update-query OAT client now synchronizes the time from the OAT server, and this communication is covered by the usual key-based security mechanisms.
