Having accurate timing in distributed systems is actually really important, and time skew can cause issues (eg, scheduler thinking a compute node is dead). Even if I might be tempted to blame the deployer for not properly managing ntpd, the problem is preventable by not relying on each compute host's local clock where possible.
