     Of course, nobody will propose leap minutes or leap hours in UTC
     after 2135 just to decrease the difference UTC - UT1.

     The reason why the CIPM (for now) sticks to the requirement that
     |UTC - UT1| be bounded is most probably the argument brought forward
     by some people from ISO who say that, without explicit bound on
     |UTC - UT1|, UTC had to change its name so that "polysemy" is avoided.
