Leap smear sounds like the sane way to do leap seconds, and it would't break software at all, because time adjustments in the sub-second area are proven to work quite well.
It's implemented in chronyd versions 2.0 and up, for what it's worth. The required config directive is "leapsecmode slew". There's a nice blog post explaining how this feature, as well as some other approaches on how to deal with the leap second, work here: http://developerblog.redhat.com/2015/06/01/five-different-ways-handle-leap-seconds-ntp/ Tore
