I find the statement

"While many of our RIPE Atlas anchors are configured to skew time back towards UTC when a change is detected (as above), some of the older anchors are configured to observe the leap indicator in NTP responses and respond to it by stepping system clocks backwards"

quite interesting.  

Do not all anchors run the same software?  If not, why not?
