That would bring us in line with Ubuntu, so - given that Fedora likely
has a newer systemd than Ubuntu (e.g. Ubuntu 20.04 only has systemd
245.4, F32 has 245.6) -- if it works for them, and has been working for
several releases, it could be worth a Change proposal for F34.
Wearing my sysadmin hat, this would simplify our logic for configuring
NTP clients quite a bit, as basically most of our Linux clients would
then be on timesyncd (we try to stick to the distro default but just
override the config).
Is is possible there's a significant minority who have workflows that
explicitly depend on chrony? If it's not possible, then I'd support
the working group just making the substitution for Workstation 33.
