Systems that operate in "UTC" show their flaws when they have
3601.0 seconds in an hour due to a leap second.

I'm not saying that there isn't greater or lesser continuity of time
in different systems, just that the NTP/UTC/Unix model has well-
known flaws as well.

The only succesful system IMHO is the S/360 type hardware clock
or the "GPS hex" or TAI timescale.
