If the ITU bastards have their way, I'll be forced to drop all my
other projects and *scramble* to build my own non-UTC GMT-generating
apparatus before the first embargoed leap second occurs. The
apparatus I have in mind is envisioned as being very similar to a
typical stratum 1 NTP server (GPS in, Ethernet out), but with a
special twist: instead of applying the "UTC offset" (or LS count or
whatever it's called) transmitted by GPS, apply a different offset
controlled by ME locally. I will then have to manually adjust this
offset periodically to steer my timescale to the true GMT, i.e., to
UT1 or whatever else happens to be convenient. And when this offset
needs to change, it will be done via a rubberization process similar
to UTC-SLS.
I think an RFC for an NTP extension to support a rubbery time scale
will be required so that all who wish to keep something approaching UT1
as civil time can do so.
