I am wondering, which lousy programmer would care about the exception to
drop a leap year every 100 years and not care about the 400-years rule?
This does not make sense, keeping in mind that computers were invented
only in the second half of this, sorry last, century. The simple rule for=

a leap year every four years would last till 2100.

I did, in a program I wrote in about 1985 <grin>. I intended it to last
1000 years, of course!
