Dunno if this is worth a change or not, but the gentleman from Raytheon 
mentioned that the older STIG recommended several NTP servers.

Having been burned personally by a shady NTP server, as well as a shady 
local oscillator, best practice might be 3+ (to ensure quorum).

The current content (V-150) only requires that NTP be enabled (a very 
good thing) and that there is at least one server. (better than none).
