ntp in /etc/services

I'm scanning for 123, trying to make sure all the old references to 123 for
the NTS port number get changed to 4460.
docs/debug.adoc says:
1. Verify the +/etc/services+ file host machine has an entry for 123/udp.
If you are using NTS, you must also have an entry for 123/tcp.
Currently, the code doesn't need /etc/services
Is that a bug, or should I remove that chunk of text?
----------
ntp.h has
#define NTP_PORT 123 /* included for non-unix machines */
#define NTP_PORTA "123" /* or unix without /etc/services */
I think all the places that might look for "ntp" via /etc/services have been
changed to use NTP_PORTA
