The hash at the end of leapseconds.list depends only on the non-comment
and special comment numeric digits, not regular comments or any non-digit
characters.
Removing trailing white space characters would affect agreement with the
MD5 checksum in the md5checksum file, but MD5 has been deprecated since
1996 and SHA replacements recommended, as used in the end of file hash.
