My reply suggested they divorce the time scales to allow business systems to use approximate POSIX like common law legal solar time as they ignore leap seconds one way or another; allow scientific systems to use atomic time and ignore legal solar time; and just ignore the ITU as broadcast radio time signals (DCF/JJY/MSF/WWV/B/H) are unavailable most places, may need equipment no longer commonly available, and too low accuracy for modern needs; other commonly available sources are delayed to uselessness by digital processing.

Could you please say more about the "delayed to uselessness"? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.
