Perhaps that is intended behavior for 2014 given recent
DDOS attacks?

According to http://archive.ntp.org/ntp4/ChangeLog-dev
mode 7 requests were disabled more than 2 years ago:

* Disable mode 7 (ntpdc) query processing in ntpd by default.  ntpq is
  believed to provide all functionality ntpdc did, and uses a less-
  fragile protocol that's safer and easier to maintain.  If you do find
  some management via ntpdc is needed, you can use "enable mode7" in the
  ntpd configuration.


Before joining the pool in 2009 I'd changed most of my  monitoring
scripts to use ntpq rather than ntpdc.

$ ntpq -c kerninfo me6000e
associd=0 status=011d leap_none, sync_pps, 1 event, kern,
pll offset:     -0.000148
