Fukuoka University's NTP server should be excluded from the pool

Pool Development

Aside from the infamous TP-Link hardcoding incident, why does pool.ntp.org still point to Fukuoka University’s NTP server, 133.100.9.2? Do we have permission from Fukuoka University? Well, even if permission has been obtained, I personally think that it should be removed from the pool, not only because it is too heavily loaded, but also because Fukuoka University has officially announced that they will be shutting down their NTP server in the near future.

Thanks @Vulturesh – I have disabled that server.

On the todo list is a feature to require some sort of validation to add a server (for example a particular TCP connection from the IP address of the NTP server).
