+
+There are real problems related to this as described upstream. Without a
+proper ntp implementation doing the time sync we have *no* idea that
+what we are doing is correct. If this is a dual boot system we could be
+clobbering the RTC without any knowledge that what we are doing is
+vaguely valid. So no, I will not entertain adding the sync hwclock stuff
+back. That is broken. What is also broken is that e2fsk uses the time as
+anything to complain about. None of the other fsck implementations do
+this AFAIK.
+
+So I stand by my original assertion that the change is valid and should
+be included.
