This, misfortune for SI has been the imbedding/mind boggler for an otherwise 'Metricated World'. Yes, the Year (Bessilian Year); the Day (MJD count or as I put it - the down count of day (10x100x100 units) distribution among Indus people); or the Seconds (up and down count of time passage in seconds) were resorted to attempt in completing the SI Metric coherence. TRY *Decimalisation of the HOUR in realtion to Arc-Angle* to see results - that shall lead you to the cause of failure of French Republican calendar.Sorry, but days, hours and minutes are not part of SI and have neverbeen intended to be. They do not represent a flaw in SI.
Debating km/hr or m/s as against miles/hr or ft/s are Okay: How do we go about using 'kilometre in Nautical astronomy'. Le Systeme Internationale d'Unites shall remain INCOMPLETE till *Time & Arc-Angle axis* is resolved - for which I provide the direction.

*****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****

Well... As can be seen by Gavin's "nagging"* post below, it looks like this issue would not go away after all, eh?... ;-)
* - I'm making use of this adjective here not in a derogatory sense, but to illustrate that until some issues are addressed by the SI system developers they will NOT be able to provide us with satisfying answers!
Unfortunately though, m/s would suffer from "application-related" shortcomings, something that apparently can only be reasonably addressed by a unit of the magnitude of km/h (not 'hr', ok, Gavin?...).
Evidently, it goes without saying that had time been "metricated" and we wouldn't have such problem, since we'd use a legitimate prefixed unit of time to satisfy such requirement (example: km/ks, or km/h, where hour is "metric hour").
