I didn't say they are not important.
I said that runlevel S is not the right place for ntpdate, and this is causing a
lot of people manually going with root permissions into rcS.d directory.
I thought it was also a matter of safety, considering that ntpdate is giving
problems to wireless that are a little bit slower to synchronize than the short
runlevel S boot time. So often computers are hanging on waiting for ntpdate, and
it is not fair, because it should be enough to move it into rc2.d with an high
sequence number.
