I think a much better answer to the nuisance of leap seconds (their uncertainty), instead of dropping them all together, MIGHT be let them build up for a century and deal with it every hundred years or every thousand. Maybe every decade?
Sheesh. In practice that is what it means to stop doing leap seconds. At some point the drift might be enough that people care enough to do a leap minute or leap hour, but by then it definitely won't be our problem.
