If you know that the data in the file covers "now", you can ignore the 
leap-pending in NTP packets from servers.

If you know that the file has expired, you can keep track of leap-pending from 
servers and if you get more than x% or more than N (that agree) you can 
believe that a leap will happen soon and pass that to the kernel.
