Never say never.

In 1969 CCIR Interim Working Party 7/1 produced CCIR Plenary Assembly
Document VII/1008, and that allowed for multiple leap seconds.  The
change to remove multiple leap seconds from that document was made on
1970-02-03 in the open discussion during the 13th plenary session of
12th Plenary Assembly of the CCIR.  Thus it became CCIR Recommendation
460, now evolved into the current version ITU-R TF.460-6.

It is very hard to say what the ITU-R might or might not do.
