I'd rather not have to dig in the logs for an entry that may be weeks
old.  Once the cookies are passed, they get reused a long time.

It also tells me nothing about the NTPD part of the connection.

I can live without names.

Uh, oh.  You mean I can't have both an NTS and a non-NTS connection to
the same address?  I want that to compare latency and jitter.  That
needs a very clear error message.

I'm updating and restarting a lot, so those are all first tries.  Since it
gets the cookies, it has no need to retry.

I only run NTPsec.  Always up to date.
