In general, I hate when people doing people things gets replaced by bureaucracy doing bureaucracy things. Structure should support people, not the other way around. That includes time. If people want midnight (on their clocks) to match midnight (in their lives) or whatever, then the structure and code we put to it needs to support that. That includes changing things like time zones and calendars and leap years, and yes, leap seconds too. Just because we suck at codifying things doesn’t mean we should change the goal to make it easier to codify. If you need a more straightforward clock in your software, use just TAI or something, instead of trying to redefine calendars.
