NTP Master reference IP 127.127.1.1 changed

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else noticed this, but I appears that Cisco
changes their NTP reference IP address on master NTP routers from
127.127.7.1 to 127.127.1.1. Looks like this change occurs somewhere between
12.4.15T5 and 12.4.24T2.

How would this relate to CCIE lab? Well if you have to configure an ntp
access list on a master ntp router you would have to change the ip address
to 127.127.1.1 from 127.127.7.1.
