Just have one of the minutes declare that it identifies as 61 seconds. Problem solved.

This is bullshit. Individual computer clocks get set both forward and backward all the time.
Developers, deal with it. You like a challenge, right?

Anyone who has an outage because of leap seconds is an idiot. Leap seconds are something that happens, becauses of changes to the Earth’s rotation. Plan for it. This isn’t something that came up just yesterday. They are also widely advertised. So far, all leap seconds have been in the forward direction, but the protocol allows for backward leap seconds as well. I’ll bet one of them would really freak these people out.
NTP can be configured to automatically check and update the leapsecond file. This stuff isn’t rocket science.

Interesting. I took a look at my ntp configuration, and docs, and found there was an ‘update-leap’ command, but it didn’t work...
$ sudo update-leap
No leapfile directive in /etc/ntp.conf; leapfile location not known
$ grep leapfile /etc/ntp.conf
leapfile /etc/leap-seconds.list
Turns out, update-leap has a bug. The filename has to be quoted.
After editing the file...
$ sudo update-leap
Not time to replace /etc/leap-seconds.list
$grep leapfile /etc/ntp.conf
leapfile “/etc/leap-seconds.list”

I remember my IT department staying overnight to deal with the Y2K disaster. We didn’t have a single incident.
But we had spent the better part of a year fixing our systems to handle 4 digit years.
