Is there some good reason for ntpdig to be doing asynchronous DNS?

I was thinking of an overall timeout.  Something like:
  If you can't set the time within N seconds, bail with an error return code 
and I'll try something else.

Lots of people want really fast reboot.  (Of course, some of them also expect 
accurate time.)
