Nothing off list, so you have seen everything that I saw.

I was hoping that there would be a good white paper or blog that discussed all 
the possibilities that have been considered and explained why they were 
rejected.

Probably crazy idea dept...

Has anybody considered having time_t and the kernel keep smeared time?

The idea is that you can convert from smeared time to TAI or UTC with leaps.  
So a few new library routines should be enough for the few people who care 
about leap seconds.
