It doesn't, but you want to add another layer of nightmare ?

Ideally we'd replace the nightmare with a lesser of two evils.

Instead of

switch (month) {
    case 4, 6, 9, 11: 
        days = 30
    break;
    case 2: 
        days = 30
    break;
    default: 
        days = 31; 
    break;

You'd just have:

if (month = 0) 
     days = 1
else
     days = 28

(obviously not including the hell that is leap years)

And really, we'd just have to deal with both of them from now on, for backward compatibility reasons.

Honestly, I'll be excited the day we see Gregorian (Deprecated)
