Just curious, has anyone tested this? Not sure if this shuts off all
timestamp support or just keeps it from being initiated in SYN packets. 

In other words, has anyone disabled this option, communicated with a
system that requested timestamp, and the actually checked the traces to
verify that your system actually ignored the timestamp request?

If no one has I'll give it a shot over the next few days.
