Why is this the question for nm? The question for me is, why netconfig relies on a value from NetworkManager.netconfig, that is never provided?
netconfig does not "rely" on anything.
What makes netconfig believe it can get the value from there,
You as administrator of your system told netconfig to look at the information provided by NetworkManager. Even if it was just by your silent consent to use default policy (you claimed to have read netconfig documentation so you are aware about default policy). Why would anyone waste time implementing special case for NTP and NetworkManager? What exactly will it fix? What is the exact difference between "no data provided by NetworkManger" and "do not check data from NetworkManager"? In both cases netconfig continues to use other sources of information according to configured policy. What exact problem in netconfig are you trying to solve beyond "NetworkManager does not have ability to manage dynamic NTP information"?
