> - Leap seconds make predicting the clock time of timestamps in the future impossible.

I don’t see that reason listed on the page, and future wall-clock times remain unpredictable due to changes in time zone rules.

What will become predictable is the relationship between posix time and elapsed time (in the sense of TAI), at least within the next few hundred years.
