[LEAPSECS] USNO predictions of UT1-UTC

[Gerard Ashton]

One of the reasons the implementation of the suppression of leap seconds
was placed so far in the future is that GLONASS is said to rely on the
current implementation of UTC. I wonder, if the international authorities
decided to suppress a negative leap second but Russia decided that GLONASS
couldn't work with that, would Russia create a fork of UTC to use with
GLONASS. What would they call it? Maybe UTC?
