Plans for the eventual elimination of leap seconds are proceeding; see <http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/cgsic/meetings/48thmeeting/Reports/Timing%20Subcommittee/48-LS%2020080916.pdf>. If implemented, the recommendation would probably not go into effect earlier than about 2017-2018. So we will likely have several more leap seconds yet. -- Richard Langley
