It seemed like a useful generalization. PPP use has declined much since the
bug was filed, but other usages have become possible. Say, if I'm on a
laptop, plug in the cable or activate the wifi, everything is taken care of
automatically. For that reason, for example, running ntpdate on eth*
interfaces is definitely useful.
What are you using ntpdate for?
