[LEAPSECS] suppressing TAI

[Zefram]

Happy birthday TAI, 1.7 Gs old at 2011-11-14 22:12:46 UTC.

There's a component of the proposal to abolish^Wredefine UTC that
refers to "suppressing TAI".  This sounds awfully silly, and more
than a little reminiscent of the worries one list member has about UT1.
("Put the maser down and come out with your hands up.")  So I'm wondering
what it's actually intended to convey.  What do list members seriously
imagine would be entailed by the intention to "suppress TAI"?
