Keeping in mind that the version string is:

	protocol.major.minor(incremental)

and not:
	major.minor.incremental(patch)

So:

	xntp-4.2.0a == NTP-4 v2.0.a
	ntp-4.2.4p8 == NTP-4 v2.4.8

and the current stable is:

	ntp-4.2.6p3 == NTP-4 v2.6.3

The only version eligible for free support are the current stable and
ntp-dev.
