I have no idea how this is better than just adding one month (say ("Festover") so we just continue as normal.

Aside from Halloween and NYE it will be very easy for people to get used to a 28 day month.

Because there's no confusion about whether you're talking about the new February or the old February. Is Feb 1 the 32nd day of the year or the 29th day?
