Leap second change? This is really a thing?

It is a thing, and some of us will care. If you have a system that
takes real-world samples (like water level) every second, and your
system records those values in a database, your database needs to be
able to store a time stamp like this: 2016-12-31-23.59.60

IBM's note refers to time synchronisation, which can be important for
cross-system encryption, as the different machines need to use the same
time as a seed.
