My hope is that some programmer dictator will instate a form of the discordian calender:

- All 5 seasons are the same length - The days of the year always fall on the same week day, as the week is 5 days long - the year always starts with the first day of the week. - the leap day is not assigned a day

Things I would change though: - start the year at winter solstice. - put the leap day at the end of the year.

In German Wednesday got that treatment in the middle age and was replaced by what would be midweek in English.
