There were 9 servers in the pool that used the smeared leap seconds. They all got temporarily “kicked out” as they diverted from UTC. NTP servers that already were using them likely kept doing so though.

Steven Sommars helped in the last weeks identify servers likely to use Google NTP upstream and I asked them not to, but obviously we didn’t find everyone (or some switched after we’d checked a week or two ago).
