Yep, again.

Paraphrasing the intro in each edition of Bulletin C

To authorities responsible for the measurement and distribution of
time:

Bulletin C is *not* a workable system, it's a 19th century scheme,
and the NTP servers of the world are hurting as a result.

Whether or not you want to keep leap seconds, please update this
scheme so that it conforms to 21st century notions of operational
with better availability than the hpiers.obspm.fr webserver and
verifiable and non-repudiable authoritative content.
