I grabbed a set if IP#'s from pool.ntp.org and monitored them in the 24
hours before and 8 hours after the leap.
Out of a set of 12 IP#'s two public stratum 1 servers never set the
leap bit, but did apply the leapsecond locally.
One of the 12 was a stratum 1 using DCF signal, and that one as expected
only set the leap warning one hour before the event.
Ten hours after the event, two stratum 3 servers in the set still had
the leap warning bits set.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
