If you are afraid that your routers will crash due to the leapsecond, then
it would help to disable the thing that you think will crash them. Even if
the router crashes when you enable it later on. Because then you can have
one router crash at a time and have it happen in a service window where you
are ready for it. Instead of having all routers in your whole network crash
at exactly the same time.
