Errr, not really;- only ~10% of calendar.holiday is affected (53 lines),
which about doubles the size of the skeleton calendar.usholiday file.
I think most OpenBSD hackers are on the European continent,
or at least outside of the U.S.A. anyway.
My thought was to provide a place for more regional U.S. holidays to be
added, to their file, without impacting the international scene.
Following this diff, I want to group many items by state, to make it
easier for their regional additions. Such as the New York Marathon,
Albuquerque hot air balloon festival & wotnot!
The Germans are already 4 times ahead of the combined States:
$ wc -l de_DE.UTF-8/* | fgrep total
414 total
The Americans could totally top that.
I know lots of Brits love the States, so it would be easy for them to
then include a fully loaded calendar.usholiday file.
Cool.
