   I don't think there is a central authority somewhere to make that   
   decision. So, it could happen than in the year 4000, we get an   
   international calendar mess as has happened while switching to the   
   Gregorian calendar. Meaning maybe March 1st, 4000 in some countries will   
   be February 29th in other countries. Hopefully, 1977 years will be   
   enough to get an agreement and resolve the matter.
