Uh Oh, another "rational" calendar...

Uh oh, a rational calendar…
I don’t know how reporters manage to be so credulous that you get news stories like this. If you follow the link back to the original story, you find this guy proposing a 364-day calendar. “To keep the calendar in synchronisation with the seasons, Henry inserted an extra week - which is not part of any month - every five or six years.”
An extra week? Just what everybody wants.
Many years ago, proposals for rational calendars were common, but they all attempted to SIMPLIFY and put calendar makers out of business. The general idea was to have 52 weeks plus a special day that is not a normal day of the week (on leap year, there would be yet another such special day). That day might be called “Lithe” instead of Monday. You wouldn’t have to buy a new calendar every year.
Now here’s the good part: If we adopted a calendar like that, our Sabbath would fall on Saturday one year, Sunday the next, and (more or less) so on. AT LAST there would be years where we could do what everybody else does on Saturday!
Sadly, religious groups of all faiths do not seem to agree with me. They are all against the rotating Sabbath, and have killed such reforms.
By the way, if you think the computer-year-2000 business was a mess: calendar reform would mean throwing away or seriously revising every old program. There would be NO QUICK FIXES!
