Any predictions whether this will have more or fewer affects than
NIST setting daylight savings time in the wrong month a few years
ago on WWV/B?

  More. There are more receivers and more dependence on
  accurate time, e.g. accounting, backups, ticketing.
  Somewhere, somebody, witha "blind" dependence on the
  NTP presentation will be out of sync w/ their neighbors
  & themselves and at best will waste time argueing about
  when something happened. At worst they'll overwrite critical
  data that has financial implications... I predict.
  Or I could just get/stay lost...
