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

- cryptonector 8y agoAh, 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.
- welterde 8y agoI 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.
