> What's better about NTP and the NTP Pool since 2012?

This is a question better answered by David Malone based on his
long-term monitoring of the leap flags in the NTP pool, but ...

At the end of 2012 July there were false leap second events from NTP
pool servers which were inappropriately advertising that a leap was
still pending.  This happened again at the end of 2012 August.  I
don't know if those servers were upgraded to better versions of NTP or
if they were simply excluded from the pool, but the false leap flags
seem to be way down by now.
