Dude, stop misrepresenting my position. Either we kill them entirely, since they are going away eventually anyway, or we put them on a regular schedule like leap years. The current system sucks too bad to be allowed to continue. Like this silly discussion, leap seconds take a hugely disproportionate amount of time and money in the implementation of timing systems that I've been involved in. All the rest is polemics..
