      Absolutely. I’m a ddi engineer. NTP plays a huge part in my work. Systems, including ntp, are designed to handle leap seconds. Negative leap seconds are uncharted territory. I could go off on a long rant about it, but I doubt people care that much. It’s really dry stuff.

      I forgot what the N stands for in NTP, but the network engineer might know.
