Invalid/old utcpole and leapsec files?

[b.mccabe]

UTCpole and leapsec files at https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/Ancillary/LUTs/modis/utcpole.dat and https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/Ancillary/LUTs/modis/leapsec.dat seem to have been reverted to a old/outdated versions from July 2020.

From a UTCpole file retrieved yesterday:

From a UTCpole file retrieved today:

Any idea what may have caused this issue, or when we might expect the UTCpole and leapsec files to be up-to-date again?

We played a shell game behind the scenes, but with big shells with lots of BBs.  A few fell on the floor and we're picking them up now.  Should be resolved soon(ish), but might be a day or so.

I believe it is back to normal now...
