I think he is referring to reecent proposals to split ntpd up into
multiple daemons.  Daemons for the core, NTS, clients, etc.  Each doing
a small job.  Rather than the one big daemon we have now.

Sorta like sendmail to postfix.

It made sense when using floppy disks to make .h files small.  BUt
now I find it much easier to have large files.  So I dont have to 
keep jumping from file to file.
