I was told it would be possible if two leap seconds were needed in some point of time. Have never occured yet, and maybe never will.

Well, it seems it would need two seconds a month (at least 13 leap seconds a year) -> not in this century if ever, and it wouldn't be UTC anymore.

Correct, that would be a deletion. Not yet tried, either, but they say it's possible.
