What's the rationale here? We recently removed support for configuring arbitrary NTP servers from timedated, see b72ddf0f4f552dd53d6404b6ddbc9f17d02b8e12. YOu patch would undo this change, but in a very limited way... We decided to make timedated only manage timesyncd and nothing else, and treat all other NTP servers as real servers that when installed and enabled replace timesyncd. Hence: every other NTP server should really take precedence over timesyncd, but only timesyncd is managable via timedated. This sounds like the right thing to do, after all timesyncd is really the simplest option to run for clients, and hence really is what should be managed by GNOME.
