A couple of corrections:
1) There is no time scale called UTC1. It is just UTC, although there
are different national versions, such as UTC(USNO).
2) Although there have been discussions about terminating leap
seconds, the final decision has not yet been made and, if it should be
made, it will not go into effect for some years.
