I'm not quite sure about the consequence of this one:

But it seems possible that large fraction of Linux systems have
been following Googles leap-smear without knowing it because of
systemd.
One of my colleagues has also monitored time{1,2,3,4}.google.com, and we
saw that those servers were obviously smearing in the way explained in
http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.de/2015/05/Got-a-second-A-leap-second-that-is-Be-ready-for-June-30th.html
In fact I was pretty surprised to see this since one of the last
paragraphs on the Google states:
"Google does not offer an external NTP service that advertises smeared
leap seconds."
So I had assumed smearing Google servers were only visible from within
their cloud services.
