Which is possible crazy people with nuclear power in hand...
One side question about "leapsectz" option: Does the use of the option
imply ignoring leap announcements from other ntp servers or sources ?
Which would imply that the timezone database MUST be maintained up to
date to honor any future leap ?
Or leap announcement is taken into account but utc-tai offset lost in
case of a restart ?
In any case, a little add to clarify this point would be great in the
"leapsectz" option documentation.
