Thanks to timezones and DST, less than 1% of the worlds population live where mean solar time is correct to a minute. I doubt the will manage to convince the other 99+% to do something as deranged as a leap-minute. Full hour shifts, on the other hand, can be done merely by changing the time-zone, and they can be done through the normal political process, aligned to recognized borders. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
