I was asking myself if this could have any impact for ntpd which use a
GPS receiver as time source. As GPS satellite are geostationary, I
guess they are affected with changes in earth rotation. How does this
affect the time used from the GPS signal?
The GPS system already uses such a timekeeping system. GPS time is not
UTC time.
The time difference between GPS and UTC time is sent as a bulletin
information by the GPS satellites and the receiver adds this difference
to calculate the UTC time it presents to the user.
When leapseconds no longer occur in UTC, this only means the time
difference between GPS time and UTC time will remain constant from that
moment.
