    services: ntp: Allow large adjustment by default.
    
    This is documented as best practice in `man ntpd', and is required to allow
    the date to be set correctly when traveling (without having to manually 
update
    the hardware clock in the BIOS/UEFI).
    
    * gnu/services/networking.scm (<ntp-server>)[allow-large-adjustment?]: Set 
the
    default value to #t.
    * doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Update documentation.
