Trusty is now in Extended Security Maintenance [1], and this bug doesn't qualify for it, so it won't be fixed in that release.

However, the clock is now stepped even when | the -x option or tinker step is used to disable stepping. I'm not sure this bug could affect Ubuntu's ntp packages, but I believe that this information is IMPORTANT for some ubuntu users.
