Leap seconds are also set to be removed eventually. UTC will become UT1 with a fixed offset, at least until enough seconds add up for the BIPM to care about the offset and insert a leap minute or hour or something TBD.
- zokier 2y ago> UTC will become UT1 with a fixed offset I'm not sure what you mean, but this sounds wrong. The whole thing about leap second abolishment is to effectively disconnect UTC from UT1, i.e. allow DUT1 to grow unbounded and make UTC a fixed offset of TAI.
- SAI_Peregrinus 2y agoRight, swapped UT1 and TAI in my head. Oops!
