The problem is that there is no way for NTP servers to determine whether or to what degree a connection is asymmetric. All they know is how much time elapses from the moment they send out a request and the moment they receive a reply. I'm not even sure it's safe to assume that with enough peers, the assymetry of the respective connections will cancel each other out.
