Bulletin C number 26 says:

Does anybody else find this wording a bit odd? It says there will be no
positive leap second at the end of this year but makes no comment on
whether they'll be a negative leap second then, or any leap second at
other times. I'd have thought something like:

# There will be NO leap seconds introduced strictly before 2004-June-30th.

would capture the intended meaning with less room for even a tiny doubt.
