Hello Folks, I refrained from commenting on this thread for a day or two now with the hope that someone would sort our the cross-posting issue. As it has not been sorted out, I wanted to share some of the actions I’ve undertaken in an effort to mute the thread on my side…
* I unsubscribed from the listserv * I tried to mute the thread on Github, which I was unable to do because my JPL email address has never been associated with a Github thread. * I unfollowed the repository with my personal email address and set notifications to off. * … I was still getting notifications after the above actions, so I’ve resorted to trashing every message which matches ‘cf-convention/cf-conventions’ in title. This is a shame as I did for a while monitor what was going on within this community. Someone, somewhere has switched something to cross post every event to the mailing list, which is not a good thing to do unless people like that kind of traffic. As you can see from the sentiment which has been posted here, people get rather annoyed pretty quickly. I’ll maybe try joining again the mailing list in the future and see if this has been sorted out however until then keep up the good work on CF-Conventions folks.

This seems convenient and clear to me. We just need to add the new ones for (proper) UTC, TAI and GPS, I think. and a new one for this use case -- the current "gregorian" is NOT the same thing. It often (maybe mostly) is, but it is actually ambiguous with regard to leap seconds, and we need to keep that. Also, once we have the new "calendars", it should not be used for this use case, and should only be used with "metrical" values :-) — You are receiving this because you commented.
