Hopefully this is last leap second we'll ever see. Non-monotonic time is an abomination and very very few programs measuring passage of time are correct. Even those which are, usually are not portable, most languages do not even offer monotonic time in standard libraries. Canada, China, England and Germany, shame on you for opposing leapsecondless UTC. Next year hopefully GPSTIME. TAI and UTC are the same thing, with different static offset. -- ++ytti
