You are confusing project lifetime with the life of a specific release.
Can you find documentation for the 20 year old version of ntp classic? (as
modified by the distro you are using)
I picked 20 years for discussion because that is the GPS rollover time. Our
current code will break after 20 years if used with a really old GPS receiver.
