[LEAPSECS] Another vote on UTC, facebook

[Tom Van Baak]

Recent news; another middle-finger to UTC as currently, legally defined.

"Building a more accurate time service at Facebook scale"
https://engineering.fb.com/production-engineering/ntp-service/

"Facebook Switches to New Timekeeping Service"
https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/telecom/internet/facebook-new-time-keeping-service

Unfortunately, I don't see a white paper, code, or technical details on 
positive/negative smear duration or slew rate, so we don't know if at 
the ms level it's the same as Google or Amazon or others on this bandwagon.

If you're one of the facebook devs working on the project and you see 
this posting, please help the leap second community with technical details.

Thanks,
/tvb
