Thanks for the interesting read!

In your Conclusion, you say "the CGPM resolution also stipulates that no 
change to current practices can occur before 2035." 

This is not how I read read the CGPM document on the BIPM website:
"The General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM), at its 27th meeting 
[...] decides that the maximum value for the difference (UT1-UTC) will be 
increased in, or before, 2035,"

So in case the negative leap seconds become a real threat, according to my 
interpretation is is an option to increase the tolerance value earlier than 
2035 to avoid trying out negative leap seconds a last and first time. 

Can someone confirm my view?
