Something to look forward to. :)

Any predictions whether this will have more or fewer affects than NIST setting daylight savings time in the wrong month a few years ago on WWV/B?

More. There are more receivers and more dependence on accurate time, e.g. accounting, backups, ticketing. Somewhere, somebody, witha "blind" dependence on the NTP presentation will be out of sync w/ their neighbors & themselves and at best will waste time argueing about when something happened. At worst they'll overwrite critical data that has financial implications... I predict. Or I could just get/stay lost... --bill
