Coordinate leap seconds with leap days. Introduce an integral

There's also a risk that the lower frequency of leaps would
exacerbate the psychology of leap seconds being an infrequent event.
Countered, perhaps, by the much longer familiarity civilians have with
leap days.
February 29 isn't the only option for the leap day. [...] A more
obvious choice is December 31: the 366th day of the year, when most
years only go up to 365.
It seems very unlikely that leap day will move from February. People
are fond of February. Also, a leap day at the end of December would
be December 32nd :-)
