Yay! Google is popularizing my preferred solution to leapsecond hell and making it easy for everyone to use/sync: https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/11/making-every-leap-second-count-with-our-new-public-NTP-servers.html …
It allows matching/comparing timestamps across internet with precision exceeding network latency.

That doesn't work if every host is doing its own skew, possibly with different algorithms, to smooth out leap seconds.
