Well, if we have 2.68 fewer microseconds per day, then that comes to about 979 fewer microseconds per year, or about 1 ms. So, that should have no impact on whether or not we need a full leap-second.
Also, I'm wondering whether you were trying to be funny when you referred to slashdot as a "credible news report".:)
