There is no way to bring up new associations with mode 6 packets. This functionality *can* be done with a mode 7 packet. I would be happy to see ntpdc simplified (ie, get rid of anything that can be done with ntpq), but I can also see the value in having a single program that knows when to use a mode 6 packet and when to use a mode 7 packet. After all, it is most convenient to see the current peer list when adding or removing associations.
