On: BIPM decides to stop adding leap seconds to UTC

[TrainedMonkey]

I concur that this is probably a good thing, but UTC without leap seconds already exists. That is TAI and some applications that care about long term persistent and self-consistent telemetry use that.

[cbarrick → TrainedMonkey]

I agree, except that TAI is off from UTC by 37 seconds.

That's a pretty big smear if you want to convert an existing clock from one to the other.
