Not true.  NTP has provision for arbitrrary extensions to an ntp packet.

See RFC 5905. https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5905.txt section 7.3:

    "The packet format consists of three components: the header itself,
    one or more optional extension fields, and an optional message
    authentication code (MAC). "
