Even the countries that adjust the clocks at midnight don't do that. In some sense leap seconds are more similar to timezone changes (DST or political) because they are irregular and unpredictable. Furthermore, the notion of "fold" is not tied to a particular 24/60/60 system of encoding times and thus more applicable to numpy where times are encoded as binary integers.
