Unfortunately it wouldn't make DT.pm any simpler, since we'd still have
the existing leap seconds to account for.


And we'd have to implement leap hours in UTC... (Though not for a couple
of hundred years, so you might just want to do that in the Perl6
version only.)


Only if one was announced.  I suspect I'd be dead before that happened, 
since it'd be 500-600 years out.
