[LEAPSECS] why not put leap seconds into zoneinfo?

[Steve Allen]

Is putting leap seconds into zoneinfo really different than what
Argentina did last month, with something like one week of notice?

(I love the certainty of that declaration -- "por el momento".
I'm left wondering just how fickle the decision can be.)

I'm sure that Daniel Gambis could be persuaded to give more notice
than that.
