What reason? I hope, 'BSD vs GPL' isn't one of main reason. All I care are
function; not license. It works better than OpenNTPD.

You should keep old and not replace to OpenNTPD yet. I personal think you
should put old back in and move OpenNTPD to ports. When OpenNTPD is ready
and better than old, then you can replace it. Maybe too late for that but
need improvement on one of your practice in future.
