[ntpwg] mode 6 packets and the system status word

[David L. Mills]

You have a failed mission. The state codes have nothing to do with the 
specification document. There might be a connection between what might 
later be defined with the ntpd monitoring protocol, but that has nothing 
to do with the specification.
