Having at least a part of one foot in the global time and frequency community I'd say that it seems that the consensus is building toward eliminating leap seconds. There was a vote planned in 2012 to do so after a straw poll showed that most member countries was in favor to do so. But in a typical committee move they elected to study it more before making a decision. Hopefully there will be some movement next year when they're scheduled to discuss it again. It's unfortunate that the first negative leap second is likely to occur before then. On Thu, Aug 4, 2022, 11:32 AM John Levine <johnl () iecc com> wrote:

Who knows, for once they might be right.
