On none of the server I run I see the "status change" messages, except for one about 5 minutes after booting. At any other time a change of the status for me is actually an indication that something is wrong. I expect it to always be in PLL mode (0001). I guess it comes down to how much you care about your clock, and expect that people using the default pool servers see those errors more. Looking at some of those pools servers, their clocks are regarly off in the range of 100 ms, and half an hour later -100 ms. And I expect ntp to have a problem with such servers.
