There was no intention to require NTS.  All the old stuff should continue to 
work as it currently does.

If you are running ntpsec, it's pretty simple to add NTS support to an 
existing NTP server.  First you have to get a certificate.  If you are 
corporate, see your IT people.  If you are home, try Let's Encrypt.

Once you have the certificate, it's 3 new lines in the config file.  You may 
need some firewall/NAT adjustments and/or to copy/link the cert file and 
private key to where ntpd can get it.


The certificate requires that you have a DNS name for the IP Address for your 
server.

Let's Encrypt requires that you have a real IP Address and probably matching 
forward/reverse DNS.

On Fedora, it's:
  sudo dnf install certbot
  sudo certbot certonly --standalone

Then every couple of months, they send you an email reminder and you need to 
run:
  sudo certbot renew
