Yes I read it, and noticed that ifdef, also I noticed that the leapseconds
was omitted for last 12 month during MFV for unknown for me reasons.
Therefore is you #define LEAPSECONDS you'll not get the next one.

And yes, the update should be on src/share/zoneinfo/leapseconds and not the
.list file (my mistake), but as I said it haven't been updated during last
MFV therefore there is nothing to be done for EN in this stage.

Pawel.

One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never
even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
