"While not required in a conforming SNTP client implementation, it is wise
to consider a suite of sanity checks designed to avoid various kinds of
abuse that might happen as the result of server implementation errors
(Windows comes to mind) or malicious attack."

I feel that mention of a specific OS is not appropriate here.  You later
chose not to mention the maker network kit which was actually identified
to have a specific implementation error.
