While true, I think that's missing the point Warner was making: If people 
running a time server can't reliably get the time server itself to manage the 
leap seconds properly, what are the odds really that everyone else will get it 
right – ever.

(As a side note I am planning to have the NTP Pool system monitor the leap 
flag, though it's not clear how much that will really help:
