I think a small poke at the system, like inserting a leap second, would save 
lives.
If a system has degraded to a house of cards, the sooner someone pokes it the 
better.
It may also point to those responsible who are not handling their responsibilty 
of providing 
bullet proof code. If you can not make a system reliable enough to insert a 
leap second 
it probably cannot handle any other unexpected insult, and that may have far 
worse consequences. 

Just my 2p worth,
Neville Michie
