I think you're missing the point.

As I said, you are making assumptions about the way we run our machines. You
are assuming that when our port-80 server says "apache" it is telling the
truth; and even if it is now, there's no reason why it should continue to
be.  You are assuming that there is actually one machine answering for our
timeserver addresses.  You are assuming that we configure our machines by
hacking on local configuration files.  You are assuming that we would be
happy to have our future plans constrained.  And so on...

As I said, if the project decides to impose constraints on other services 
which our timeserver addresses respond to then we'll simply decide to leave 
the pool.  I expect the addresses which are currently in the pool will 
continue to respond to NTP.  I would be surprised if we're the only large 
site to think that way.
