  We don't need more standards. We have UTC and TAI. Pick one, use that one.

    Leap smearing isn't related to TAI, it's just a way to minimize the effect of leap seconds on machines using NTP servers.

      Ah, I confused this with a proposal (IIRC discussed on the ietf@ietf.org list a while back) for a new time standard that involves guesstimating leap seconds.

        I wonder if it would be possible to just straight-up use UT1 instead of UTC (or is UT1 only available post-facto?). This would essentially be near-infinite smear.
