Hello
I do not know, if this is the right place to ask/report this. But
I think, that some knowledgeable people are reading this mailing list.
According to IERS (International Earth Rotation and Reference
Systems Service) [1] Messages "IERS Message No. 191: Colloquium on
redefinition of UTC - Announcement" [2] and "IERS Message No. 192:
Questionnaire to survey opinion concerning a redefinition of UTC"
[3] there is the idea do separate UTC from earth rotation so that
leap seconds are not needed any more.

[3] http://data.iers.org/products/2/14845/orig/message_192.txt
I was asking myself if this could have any impact for ntpd which
use a GPS receiver as time source. As GPS satellite are
geostationary, I guess they are affected with changes in earth
rotation. How does this affect the time used from the GPS signal?
bye
Fabian
