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.
