I find it amusing, as this was discussed on ntp-questions email-list in
mid August 2013, and clearly explained with due references. It seems
that people did not act. There was a misconception that this was a
"receiver error" for which they should not do any fixes. It's actually a
systemflaw that never was fixed in L1 C/A code. It would have been good
if they added additional GPS-weeks bits in that signal, but it never
materialized. It did for other newer signals.
It seems nothing happen in those 8 years until the patching this year.
Cheers,
Magnus
