At least they need enough i formation to realize they don't wanna handle this entirely by themselves.
The point however is that every dev sometimes needs to make assumptions about an calendar — even those who are smart enough not to write their own calendar. E.g. if you think about a typical fitness tracker of course the devs will have to make assumptions about weeks and months, instead of supprting every calendar under the sun.
This is why a Depends makes a lot more sense here: Knowing that it exists is good, but you might not have to support it in an 1.0 release
