Thank you for identifying this. I agree it makes sense to fix it in Xenial. Though I wonder about how the change might adversely impact existing users.

For example, if a DHCP user is receiving a broken set of NTP servers that doesn't work, currently his NTP won't be broken because the default set will be used

But with this fixed, the default set will stop being used, and his NTP will appear to break. Though the root cause is that his DHCP or network was misconfigured, it would be the SRU that causes the problem to emerge.

In principle I think this is OK, but we should point it out in "Regression Potential", and I appreciate more opinions.
