Hi,
I hope this is the appropriate list for questions about the leap-seconds
file.
It seems the `leap-seconds.list` file hosted on the IANA server [1] is
about to expire on 28 December 2025, and its latest update NTP timestamp
(01 July 2025) appears to be older than the timestamp on the upstream
bulletin [2] (07 July 2025). The obspm.fr servers also appear to host a
leap-seconds.list file [3] with an expiry date of 28 June 2026.
With the current expiry date approaching, I was wondering if the
IANA-hosted file will be updated to have an expiry date in the future.
As a side note, the leap-seconds.list file shipped in tzdata on Debian
[4] already seems to use the 2026 expiry date.
