I agree here with more with Andrew. 

At least add the needed version on the wiki wil help. 
What people choose is there thing. 

Debian ( and all its clones), as of debian Stable (Stretch), support chrony.
chrony (3.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
  * Merge branch “experimental”:
    - Enable support for MS-SNTP authentication in Samba.

It's there as of : Tue, 17 Jan 2017 22:05:31 +0100 ( experimental )

https://chrony.tuxfamily.org/comparison.html
And people should read:
https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/blogs/securing-network-time/ 

And yes, most distros now have chrony 3.0, only not the older distros.
Like debian 8/Ubuntu 16.04, RH6.
