That's what I'm saying... 2005 -> 2008 is 3 years, and the last broken
version is already > 1 year old... If we get another leap second in
three years that release will be > 4 years old. Also FYI leap seconds
are only added/removed on fixed dates every 6 month (end of Dec or end
of June).

Moreover, any linux distribution that still maintain this version (i.e.
in long term supports version or similar) can get the patch in and make
a bugfix release.

I can't change the past, I'm just saying the this problem likely won't
affect many users when the next leap second is inserted.
