Huh. 5 percent, and more suspected.
So on the one hand you have your Pope Gregory interfering in
TEMPORAL matters to decree a calendar tuneup to be done by skipping a
few day-names.
And on the other hand you have your 5% of medievals rioting,
screaming
"Give us back our days!"
Clearly the Wash.Post 5% would be their descendents.

I like your IgnoreTheChange drive and hope it spreads. Years of
retirement let us ignore it by the defacto method. We're on solar time,
sleeping until widely scattered light tells us it's time to get up.
