excellent article.  as this is an ops-oriented community, it may be
worth pointing out that bsd and linux kernels are believed to handle
the leap second correctly.  but if you have devices such as ntp strat
1 devices, or other devices which are sensitive to the leap second, it
may be worth investigating how the device handles it.

e.g., i have a Time Machines TM1000A GPS Network Time Server.  search
for 'leap' in the manual fails.  and i have yet to find anything that
sounds real in the net of a thousand lies.

but darned good article.
