As I understood it part of the rationale for NTPsec was the yawning 
security chasms in NTPclassic. Shouldn't wide adoption therefore be 
highly desirable?

Possible answer: Aunt Tillie is not going to hunt down NTPsec and 
install it, we can't get any real foothold in the diffuse installed 
base. But NTPsec *can* get into new OS releases and big server farms.

tremendous amount of generative value in understanding it.
