Really? Have you looked in to those calculations, and I'm only talking about the allegedly predictable parts of those calculations, not things like the jetstream, the circumpolar currents, or earthquakes.
Ok, forget that point - AFAIK, the only things that matter wrt time is agreement on interval/counter and epoch, and stability. Right now we only have agreement on interval. So while I'd prefer a consistent epoch and counter, I'll live with whatever as we have access to board agreement and stability (like this doesn't hit NANOG every time with "uh oh").
