I quoted from the document you yourself pointed me at. TAI is
continuous. UTC differes from TAI by and interger number of seconds, and

You clearly misunderstood TF.460, because you still have it wrong. There
is no discontinuity, the two scales merely count time differently. This
is how the time of the next leap second will be enumerated in each:
UTC TAI
2015/Jun/30/23:59:58 2015/Jul/1/00:00:33 (nb:35 second delta)
2015/Jun/30/23:59:59 2015/Jul/1/00:00:34
2015/Jun/30/23:59:60 2015/Jul/1/00:00:35
2015/Jul/01/00:00:00 2015/Jul/1/00:00:36
2015/Jul/01/00:00:01 2015/Jul/1/00:00:37 (nb:36 second delta)
Now, why don't you think a bit, then tell us where you think the
discontinuity is in UTC? Hint: if you think there is a discontinuity,
keep thinking.
