You mean a client using default configuration? With a reduced polling
interval I think it shouldn't be a big problem to follow closely a
server that smears leap second in just two hours.
Anyway, from the article it's not clear to me if they will make a leap
smear on NTP servers or precompensate the clocks locally be slewing.
