 Wasn't the leap second publicised 6 months in advance?


Just below that:
Article ID: 909614 - Last Review: January 16, 2015 - Revision: 8.0

So it _was_ fast published after they heard in Jan.  And it will next be
revised when the next leap second is announced.  In between, we can ignore
the problem :-)

Every job takes only two minutes, if you wait till the last minute to do it.

basically: ignore the leap second, so your computer is fast relative
to UTC, and next time you resynchronize time it adjusts

Windows, these days, runs NTP

.. although the NTP run by default meets few of the standard NTP functions, 
as provided by the Meinberg NTP port, which includes smooth leap-second 
handling.
