    The upcoming redefinition of UTC may well be seen as the logical
    consequence of its tremendous success as a reference time scale:
    billions of devices need an easily accessible continuous time
    scale with constant rate for sequencing events and for the
    computation of time derivatives.

    And the secular deviation of UT from UTC in the future might
    be one of the consequences that you think D H Sadler did not
    dare to describe in plain language.
