Improve - Remove default crony pool entries

The following task in tasks/10_system_vetting.yml could be improved:

- name: "Remove default crony pool entries"
  ansible.builtin.lineinfile:
    path: "{{ common_chrony_conf }}"
    state: "absent"
    regexp: "^pool .*"
  notify:
    - "Restart chrony"
    - "Reload chrony sources"

I think that could be changed to the following in order to not make changes on every Ansible run:

- name: "Remove default chrony pool entries"
  ansible.builtin.lineinfile:
    path: "{{ common_chrony_conf }}"
    state: "absent"
    regexp: "^pool.*.pool.ntp.org"
  notify:
    - "Restart chrony"
    - "Reload chrony sources"

Note also that chrony is misspelled in the task name.
