NTPsec leap second experience

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I have understood very little
of your exposition about this.  I'm a software systems architect, not
a metrologist, and the stuff going on down at the PLL level is still a
bit beyond my ken.

However, what I *do* take away is that our drastic reduction surgery
on the rest of the suite apparently has not accidentally damaged the
PLL nor screwed up its convergence properties. I find that very
reassuring.
