I didn't mean to be against anything.  Sorry if it came across that way.

Another list I'm on is having an "interesting" discussion about changing 
something like this.  I was trying to nudge us in the right direction, 
whereever that is.  Fixing the defaults to conform to some standard seems 
easier to justify than an arbitrary change.

If we are going to change the default for where log files go, we should also 
check and fix the default for where the drift file and NTS keys file go.

Are there any other files?  The obvious one is the config file (and its 
directory).
Others that I can think of:
  leap second file
  shared keys
  NTS cert and key

I think there used to be a snippet of documentation that described all the 
files ntpd used.  We have a tangle of compile time defaults, command line 
switches, and eentries in the config file.

Whatever we do, we should be sure to add a note to NEWS.
