This is why we've internally standardized on Leap smearing, an added benefit is that it keeps us in sync with Google and AWS who also smear time in the same way.

True, But it's hard enough to get developers to understand the need to code for 61 seconds in a minute, and now they would need to code for 59 seconds as well. If time systems simply skewed the time so that 60 seconds actually just took 61 seconds or 59 seconds, there would be other issues, but coders wouldn't be involved. -----Original Message----- From: NANOG nanog-bounces+mhuff=ox.com () nanog org On Behalf Of Stephane Bortzmeyer Sent: Wednesday, August 3, 2022 11:19 AM To: Jay Ashworth jra () baylink com Cc: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: IERS ponders reverse leapsecond...
