    You don’t need to adjust for calendar drift if you start the year on a soltice.

      True, but that would lead to the same mess the Iranian calendar has, that you can’t calculate which year will be a leap year. This leads to fragmentation, lot of custom implementations of algorithms that are more or less accurate for the next hundred years.
