We can't predict the future. It's fascinating to read about the many

Negative Leap Seconds have been a feature of the specification since the
beginning. It gives a little more margin to accommodate the unknown, and
it's not an onerous complication. I hope we concentrate on helping get
implementations to conform to the UTC specs as they stand rather than
look for justifications to over simplify the problem.
I totally agree.
