I think the later would be sufficient; f.e. I'm thinking of routers
which use busybox which only need to sync to one external time source,
and then provide the fetched time to local intranet clients. My personal
use at the moment is only ntpdate for sync; I use embeded systems which
have a RTC, but no battery on board, thus need to sync the hwclock only
once the system is up, and external (internet) time sources which still
provide rdate are becoming rare these days...
