Alright then, I'll prepare a proposal on plan D and implement it. I suppose
5.8
is already FF, so we go 5.9 then right?

Adding a calendar system based on locale, will break many things. I believe
that
the calendar system is not a matter of locale nor culture. We need to
discuss
the details. So I'm going to post my proposal in dev list.

Please let me know about any missing point.

Cheers,
soroush
