We’re talking 20k-50k years before the 12pm is no longer light outside.
Do you know how long that is on a civilizational scale? When we try to develop warnings for nuclear waste storage that will last that long it’s mostly impossible because we assume there will be absolutely no civilizational continuity/shared context.
Doing 20k years of regular maintenance just in case we somehow keep using the same timekeeping system is completely unhinged. Better to jump an hour in 6k years if people in 6k years decide they care.
