Some might ask ian's question in the form "should we keep adding leap seconds to UTC so it remains a form of mean time?" After all, it is as close to mean time as most of the time keeping devices ordinary folks use, such as wrist watches, PCs, and school bells.

Sorry, what I mean by "obviously a nonsense" is that a Mean Time won't have leap seconds, so discussing "should we keep adding leap seconds to GMT" is nonsense. The question is as we all know "should we keep adding leap seconds to UTC to keep it close to mean time". ian . . . _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
