No, we're used to leaping local civil time. UTC as international civil time remains an indicator of Earth orientation. The two are kept separate whatever local authorities choose to do.
I thought UT1 was the "indicator" of Earth orientation. Are you confusing a timescale with a measurement? DUT1 exists in order to convert a timescale back to a measurement. You aim your precise telescopes using UT1 not UTC, don't you? /tvb _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
