Holy crap this is what I wanted. at least four of the intercalary days should be the solstice and equinoxes. and I wanted the weeks to be 5 weeks of 6 days per month with every month starting and ending on the same day. I would be tempted for the fifth and sixth intercalary to be after the winder solstice and call the fifth new years and the sixth one leap day or something. I figure thats sorta the main holiday time anyway.

In the revolutionary context, the extra days were all piled into the end of the year. Kind of a special short month, or more realistically a set of days not in a month. But yeah, leap days were added there when necessary.
Twelve months of five weeks of six days plus five or six days at the end for Christmas and New Years would absolutely rule. As long as weeks became 4+2 and not 5+1, anyway. I say we drop Thursdays and just keep the rest of the day names, they’re fine.

Best we can do is 996 with the new 6-day weeks.
