'Following a comprehensive review by the Cisco leap second team, we are 
pleased to offer the following information. Our experience of the 2008, 
2012 and 2015 leap second introductions, combined with our recent 
assessment of potential impacts for our current solutions, suggest that 
the leap second introduction is unlikely to represent a material event 
for Cisco products in our customers’ networks.'

Doesn't quite add up . . . ?
