But there already are two versions of UTC in use.
The one as defined by TF.460 and implemented by the time service
bureaus, and the one defined by POSIX and implemented in computers.
In my opinion UTC is already too badly forked to be used as a
precision time scale, for the only result can be argument and
confusion.
