Ah, but this is still a really good "rule of thumb," whether it's
mandated by the internals of Slony-I or not.  If the servers differ,
then your distributed system will have unpredictable behaviour,
particularly if there's any behaviour where the system uses timestamps
to determine behaviour.

To wit...  "Slony-I may not directly depend on providers and
subscribers having well synchronized time, but using NTP to keep the
clocks well-disciplined is a vital component of any distributed
application."

Slony-I may be introducing people to distributed applications that
haven't done this before, and we shouldn't counsel them to ignore one
of the Important Good Practices.
