PS: I'd like to clarify I am not thinking about something like the tinker directive. Rather, I am thinking about something like the following (when said option is set): - upstream signals a leap second insertion/deletion - after 23:59:59, ntpd consciously does NOT insert the leap second and suspends step adjustments for a convenient amount of time (T seconds) - for T seconds, ntpd tries to slow down / speed up the clock to make up for the leap second - if, after T seconds, the normal behaviour is restored. If the offset is still too big, a step change will be forced.
