Comment # 49 on bug 1145193 from Ginko Bonsai

> YaST can't be responsible for decision taking here. We just implement what
others want in a way they need it. I'd like to hear your wishes/opinions till
Monday, 23rd September, 12:00 CEST. Then we need to plan for the next sprint.

I can't speak for the "always online and we absolutely need super-exact time"
usecase, just for the "laptop, may be used offline" use case, so here goes the
user story:
As a travelling laptop user I want to be able to boot my laptop to graphical
user interface and use it even if I have no network so that I can work on the
train. Being offline must not block booting to GUI. A timeout of 10 minutes
with no indication that the timeout *is* 10 minutes signals to me "this machine
won't ever boot".

Side note: since deactivating the chrony-wait service, I've had zero problems
with services due to inexact time. But then I'm not using the laptop as a host
for webserver, timeserver, fileserver, crypto stuff, etc.
