Hi,

As we (hopefully) all know on 30th of June we'll observe leap second.
 tzdata information was updated in release 2015a in January.  This version
was imported in FreeBSD HEAD (r279706), 10-STABLE (r279707), 9-STABLE
(r279708) and 8-STABLE (r279709) on 6th of March.  Since then there were no
releases and therefore users of _supported_ releases don't have tzdata
information about incoming leap second.
RedHat published a very detailed guide about that:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/15145.
I believe that FreeBSD Project should issue Errata Notices for all
supported version with update to share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list file.
This also means update to 8.4-R that will be supported till the last (and
leap) second of 30th of June.

Pawel.
