> I'm not some crackpot here talking about the absurdity of leap seconds

No question about that; leap seconds have been controversial since they were invented. The question is whether "the juice is worth the squeeze" which is of course an opinion rather than a fact.

The nice thing about time standards of course is that there are so many to choose from. All of them have flaws when you try to use them the way we do in civil time applications.
