[Xymon] NTP requirement for Terabithia xymon RPM - RHEL/CentOS 7?

Good morning,

I'm installing Xymon on an Amazon Linux 2 instance (RHEL/CentOS 7 equivalent) and noticed that, although Chrony is installed on the instance, the ntp and ntpdate packages were installed as pre-reqs for the JC's xymon package.

I was just wondering:

* Why is ntp/ntpdate a requirement for the Xymon package?
* Does Chrony not have equivalent functionality?

Thanks.
