I think that's misleading. If you are going to smear, there are a lot of problems that go away if everybody uses the same parameters. Unless there are reasons to select one value over another, selecting one with a coin flip is generally better than running incompatible implementations. This is still early in the deployment cycle. It may be appropriate to experiment. Unfortunately, leap seconds don't happen often enough to make that an useful approach to gaining experience. -- These are my opinions.
