Because:
(1) ntpd doesn't require much overhead to run, and
(2) it's very simple to configure these days with the ntp
     servers pool, and
(3) your example hard codes clock.redhat.com, which is bad, and
(4) when you run ntpd, you're less likely to have to step the
     time on your server (which can cause problems).

At least, that's my opinion.
