The criticism is *not* that STP has a separate charge, but rather that
the automated setting of the time *ON A SINGLE BOX* requires STP,
which is chargeable. I don't recall anybody complaining that
sub-millisecond synchronization between boxes should be free.

As a free *option*? In a heartbeat. As the *only* option? Nobody has
asked for that. What they have asked for is the ability for a single
box to use NTP without paying extra for it.
