Feature Request - Support for NTP with NTS (Network Time Security)

Dear Fortinet Team,

I would like to inquire whether FortiGate (and related FortiOS platforms) have any plans to support NTP with NTS (Network Time Security, RFC 8915).

Currently, FortiGate supports only NTP with symmetric key authentication (MD5/SHA1), but not NTS. As NTS is becoming the new standard for secure and authenticated time synchronization (e.g., supported by public servers such as time.cloudflare.com), it would be very helpful to know if Fortinet has a roadmap for adding this capability.

Could you please confirm:
1. Whether NTS support is on Fortinet’s roadmap?
2. If yes, in which FortiOS release or timeframe might this feature be available?
3. If not yet planned, is there a feature request process I can follow to submit this formally?

Thank you for your assistance.
