What do you think is the obstacle? Code footprint? There are TLS
stacks that fit in as little as 20k. In applications where even that's
is too much you're probably not fully implementing NTPv4 either and
just doing some brain-dead one-shot SNTP deal, and for that NTPv4 is
fine; there's nothing to improve upon.
