Ironically, I changed tz-link's "voted" to "decided" to use the exact 
word "decided" that the GCPM used....

I installed the attached proposed patch to try to do that.

Unfortunately <https://www.bipm.org/en/cgpm-2022/resolution-4> is 
written so bureaucratically that it's hard to understand what it means. 
At its core I think it means "We decide to discontinue leap seconds by 
2035" and "maybe our descendants will do something different". I've 
tried to write this meaning plainly rather than to slip into too much 
bureaucratese.
