A conclusive proposal to fundamentally redefine UTC is scheduled for a

It's just sheer stupidity. A bunch of people who chose to use the UTC
timescale when they should have chosen TAI now want to screw up UTC for
those who use it as intended. If they don't want to deal with leap
seconds, they should be using TAI or GPS time, not trying to redefine
UTC to be a THIRD timescale unlinked from the heavens.
And that applies to those who are forced into UTC through legal, or
other requirements - work to get the law or requirements changed
instead of changing the definition of UTC. It already is what it's
supposed to be.
