Picked up as a slashdot thread:

http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/08/24/032244/Leap-Seconds-May-Be-Eliminated-From-UTC

Something of a cautionary tale to be careful with the phraseology of posts even on obscure technical mailing lists :-)

Comments are the usual mixed bag, but relatively on-topic for slashdot (but then I've only read the first couple dozen). I'd mod-up the one mentioning zoneinfo in the same breath as ucolick, but don't have any points...
