Hello,

So there was a recent weblog post on a timekeeping observation:

        https://fanf.dreamwidth.org/133823.html
        https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25145870  (via)
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second

In all circumstances in the past, leap seconds were added:

        23:59:57Z
        23:59:58
        23:59:59
        23:59:60
        00:00:00
        00:00:01

The post brings up the possibility of a “negative” leap second, i.e., a skip:

        23:59:57Z
        23:59:58
        00:00:00
        00:00:01

Has anyone tested this scenario on FreeBSD?

Thanks for any info.
