If we keep leap-seconds, I would bet even dollars (ie: a 50/50
probability) on at least one (and probably only one) negative
leap-second before the 2K38 time_t roll over.

This is an unscientific hunch, but based on scientific data: I see
far more co-trending in DUT1 and climate model result than I am
comfortable with.
