No point considering this one yet. Calendars are legal matters (they
determine when payments are due, when public holidays are, and so on)
Unless and until some government incorporates the 4000-year rule in its

that there is a Greek? rule that has a 2-exceptions-every-900-years
rule instead of 1-exception-every-400-years.
