[LEAPSECS] Is UTC mean time?

[G Ashton]

Some might ask ian's question in the form "should we keep adding leap
seconds to UTC so it remains a form of mean time?" After all, it is as close
to mean time as most of the time keeping devices ordinary folks use, such as
wrist watches, PCs, and school bells.

Sorry, what I mean by "obviously a nonsense" is that a Mean Time won't have
leap seconds, so discussing "should we keep adding leap seconds to GMT" is
nonsense.  The question is as we all know "should we keep adding leap
seconds to UTC to keep it close to mean time".
