Yeah - I thought twice about mentioning UT1, and presumably should have thought thrice :-)

To get back to the original question: in the part of the metaverse where UTC is redefined, and thus referring to something as "Universal Time" or "UT" is dangerously ambiguous, what do we call "TCFKAUT"?

Will GMT rise from the ashes?  Will we call it "UT-classic"?  Maybe something like "UTZ":

Suggestions?  (I mean practical suggestions :-)
