      It is. But I think that having rounder numbers is even better - it simplifies any measuring, division or multiplication. People planting crops/etc. would likely refer to the seasons instead of year (same as now), and school summer vacations would be likely set up per year (just like Easter etc.).

      A somewhat middle ground approach would be if the “social year” was defined to have 360d. Seasons and years would still mismatch over time, but from one year to another they’d be rather close. (e.g. if summer started 10/Mar this year, it’ll start ~15/Mar in the next year)
