LEGAL things would break. What the people like you fail to grok is that some of us are bound by *non-negotiable legal requirements* to live our lives on a time standard that's anchored to Mean Solar Time. The constitution of the new micronation I'm in the process of founding will have just such a requirement. If the ITU succeeds in its inane plan, it will immediately become illegal for me to use UTC for *anything*, and that would happen the instant their redefinition takes effect, i.e., has nothing to do with the magnitude of DUT1. Then I would have to *scramble* to build my own apparatus that can serve me with an alternate timescale that has no connection to UTC: it would be a massive project, taking my time away from other technical projects I'd like to work out, hence a very real cost.
