Because leap seconds are not deterministic, kind of like time zone changes. It would make timestamp <--> date calculations A) harder and B) need constant updates to work. Hell for firmware and embedded code. Edit: the worst thing is: it would make those calculations harder to do correctly, but it would be too seductive to not care for leap seconds. After all, what's a few seconds error, really? This leaves you in a state where, guaranteed, 99% of time software will not be correct and the error will compound over time. |
