That's a bug then. It is needed for DNSSEC.
No, ntpd is not needed for DNSSEC. A correct clock is required, but ntpd is not the only solution. Fedora switched to chrony by default several releases ago.
Okay, so perhaps chrony should be extended to use a "saved clock" as a time source on boot if available, and save the time in a file regularly, if it does not do so already.
ObPetPeve: The complete chrony documentation is supplied in texinfo format.
