>From Article: --- "Most of those involved on the "Abolish Leap Seconds" side of the debate claim a cost-benefit equation that essentially says: "cost of fixing all computers to deal correctly with leap seconds = infinity" over "benefits of leap seconds = next to nothing." QED: case closed."
The world needs a leap second. Reading that article, it seems like there is an effort to ignore it and/or get rid of it. But its not like its based on some arbitrary issue to keep time keepers at some atomic clock employed. As the moon steals Earth's rotational speed, the planet is slowing down and the day is becoming longer. After all. when the moon was created, I believe 1/Day = 12/hours.
