Depends on what your Stratum-1 is syncronized to. Some GPS time sources pass on the leap indicator to NTP. For example, the SiRF-3 GPS, connected by way of gpsd, to ntpd will pass on the leap second.
Yep, my ancient old SVeeSix has been showing the leap second for several months; the notification it was added to the GPS signal a while back, either at the start of the year or the start of the quarter (in theory, leap seconds can be added/removed quarterly). -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
