UTC leap second abolition opposed by Royal Astronomical Society
From: Paul Hirose

Today the Royal Astronomical Society took a position on the debate over
UTC leap seconds:

"In November 2005, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) will
be discussing a proposal to abolish leap seconds. The Royal Astronomical
Society (RAS) strongly recommends that this proposal should be shelved,
and that, before any changes are implemented, there should be a broader,
public debate on the future use of these small adjustments to our annual
time-keeping."

My guess: the ITU will maintain the UTC status quo.
