Oof, I feel like I should send a comment. This is bad:
1. There is no definition of what the leap smeared timescale means. This may prevent a client from usefully synchronizing with multiple servers using that timescale.
2. There’s enough information in the messages to compute leap smeared time. (The leap second indicator along with UTC is sufficient.). Chrony does this.
As a result, it seems like it would never actually make sense for servers to synchronize to each other in smeared mode.
