I could.  It was changed in:

ntpd/ntp_proto.c at 1.266  2007-11-21 01:06:33-05:00  stenn at udel.edu

You can see the complete set of changes at:

And the diff for ntp_proto.c showing the introduction of NTP_IBURST
(6) replacing NTP_BURST (8) for the iburst count:

Those changes appeared first in 4.2.5p100.
