Well, IMHO the very limited functionality in the NTP protocol to find out anything about the systems using the protocol (even more the clients than the servers) is a major limitation. As it is, we have little or no possibility to track down users and abusers and inform them about errors in their configuration. I would wish it was possible to query for contact information. On a server, it can be done by setting some variables. But it will easily lead to larger packets.
