I wonder what the impact is on computers. Will your server know to add another second, or will it just lose sync and be one second off for the rest of times?


At least UNIX time is sane enough not to count this madness, so all time differences are objective; only one timestamp value will ambiguously mean (-1):60th and :00th second in UTC.


it will just sync via NTP, and assume the "difference" was regular clock skew.
