Picked up as a slashdot thread:
http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/08/24/032244/Leap-Seconds-May-Be-Eliminated-From-UTC
Something of a cautionary tale to be careful with the phraseology of posts even
on obscure technical mailing lists :-)
Comments are the usual mixed bag, but
There's an article on leap seconds up at PCWorld
