i like this article from november last year, in the run up to the ITU world radiocommunication conference, about the increasingly firm plans to abolish the leap second

however the ITU-R WRC23 didn't agree on the "leap minute" proposal, instead they decided "the maximum value for the difference between UT1 and UTC should be no less than 100 seconds"
