The world seems to be moving towards trying to simplify time a bit, e.g. by discontinuing leap seconds.
Management paid little attention to dates in the 20th century does anyone seriously think they will pay attention to a leap hour as an edge case for time? I'm gonna have to get more popcorn. Obviously the issue is because software is still made as cheaply as possible and even with the subject of time right in their face they still don't code to handle it. So let's abolish accuracy and assume the earth is always the same size - slaps forehead.
Personally I'd start a project to build a booster large enough to correct the Earth's orbit of the sun to a nice round 256 days
Maybe 360 days would make it nice and round.
