Nah, just more spray paint. It appears that the "ntp thing" is nothing new; if there are bugs fix them.

Redefining UTC to be something other than Universal Time would not provide additional access to leap less time scales; we already have TAI and GPS. Abolishing Universal Time would rather simply deny access to solar time.

Every wall has two sides.
