With the historical tracking of the tzdata files, I know that now and then the FreeBSD repository got out of sync with the vendor data. But if you look at the last six - nine months, you will see that it's much more in sync with the vendor branch within a shorter time. Leapseconds is one of the files from them, but due to the lack of a SCM repository for them I can't browse through it, but then the FreeBSD repository seems to have a lot of updates on it in it. Honestly, not that I worry that you updated it: it will give me a nice headsup to check for it at the next import.
