That *is* the goal. But, in a distributed development environment
like Linux Audio, it takes time for all the projects to "synch up".

Ardour beta5 has transport and timebase master working, but the "synch
to JACK" option is still not implemented. When I asked Paul Davis
about that, he said it would take a "small amount of code".

That starts and stops the transport. To have a visible effect you
need clients that will synch to the JACK transport.

I don't know of any general MIDI sequencer that has released JACK
transport support yet. Here is the current status AFAIK...
rosegarden -- developers have expressed interest, but they need to
fold that back into their own release plans and schedules
MUSE -- I have not heard any plans
ardour -- has partial support in beta5 (master, not slave)
ecasound -- has a full implementation of both master and slave
audacity -- if it has JACK support of any kind I haven't heard
about it
hydrogen -- has JACK transport support in the latest release
I would be interested to hear about others, and to receive corrections
for any misunderstandings on my part.
