Resolution 655 was approved by the WRC plenary, reportedly in a
very routine manner and with with neither drama nor long speeches.
The full text of the resolution is on page 399 of the provisional final acts:

My Tl;dr version of the resolution is:
Timescales are not spectrum regulation, we defer to CPGM
and BIPM on that, but will handle any fall-out as far as
radio signals go. Please keep DUT1 less than 100 seconds.
Then BIPM then issued this press release:
https://www.bipm.org/en/-/2023-12-12-wrc-dubai
Which I read as death notice for the leap-second, with further
details of the funeral to announced after CPGM's meeting in 2026.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
