+    The ValidateNtp has been removed from the all nodes validation configuration.
+    During the time sync configuration we already do a check to ensure the ntp
+    servers are available. If they are not we will fail with an appropriate message.
+    The ValidateNtp option came from a time before we could fail in a more
+    explicit way.
