Thats a pretty uncharitable take on what Poettering said. IMO hes right that in many cases you dont want to hold up booting on whether or not time has been synced. I dont want my desktop, or most servers to not boot if the network or NTP server is down. He also suggests what they can add for people who want this behaviour. Oh woe is me that systemd does not support my use case of an embedded system needing to verify disk image with accurate time before booting further, as the _default_.
