Comment on UTC vs. UT1 time and other nuances (2020)parent

Comments

RFC 7808 specifies a TZDIST service.

But most operating systems already have their own mechanism to update their timezone database. This is not a problem. Shifting timezones by 15 minutes every few thousand years would work with current software.

All we need to do is to agree that UTC will have no more leap seconds.
