Thanks.
I think it's worth doing an EN for this, but I'd rather do it when the
IANA leap-seconds.list file is updated. Otherwise we'll get complaints
from folks who have installed the EN but note their leap-seconds.list
still complains of imminent / past expiry.
Regardless of whether we do an EN, I do think we should do an
announcement (possibly signed by security-officer@) that the imminent
expiry of leap-seconds.list is not an actual problem.
No leap second will be introduced at the end of 2023.
Have we decided to go with the IANA location? If so we should include
philip's change above too.
I believe IANA Is the best upstream for leap-seconds.list. IERS is
really authoritative but there are copyright concerns (no public domain
in France). NIST's version has no copyright concerns but is only
available over FTP (and it's 2023.
I think we should issue an EN for at least the first two so FreeBSD
systems
won't go to IETF until ~mid 2024. Can someone (other from myself :)
from
secteam@ help with the actual EN process?
I'll pick this up.
Thanks for the draft!
