If they were forever switching between GMT/BST/WHY then your system wouldn't know what was the correct time.

Quote Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is a time standard based on International Atomic Time (TAI) with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth's slowing rotation. Leap seconds are used to allow UTC to closely track UT1, which is mean solar time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.
The difference between UTC and UT1 is not allowed to exceed 0.9 seconds, so if high precision is not required the general term Universal Time (UT) may be used.
In casual use, when fractions of a second are not important, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) can be considered equivalent to UTC or UT1. Owing to the ambiguity as to whether UTC or UT1 is meant, GMT is generally avoided in technical contexts.
Time zones around the world can be expressed as positive or negative offsets from UTC; UTC replaced GMT as the basis for the main reference time scale or civil time in various regions on 1 January 1972.

(Well it was true last time I read me licence <long time ago> and I haven't been active for several years so nothing in my call book :'()
I think UTC was chosen so as not to upset the yanks, not liking GMT

This means that just because the day-length of the Earth is increasing, that real time is not affected.
(Actually, according to Einstein time is relative...)
