Indeed - though that's not likely in the near future.

Exactly - I think this lingering-leapbits thing is a problem that
probably needs to be looked at, but it unlikely to cause many
problems in the near future. The rules for passing on leap bits
have gradually changed, and I guess what we are seeing is a mix of
different sets of rules being applied in different places.
