And what alternative do you have in mind? We could redefine how long a year is. But that would require some tricky orbital engineering and a very large rocket.
I don't have a serious suggestion. It would indeed necessarily involve decoupling the calendar year from the seasonal year. Three 487-day "years" lines up with 4x365 + 1 leap day, and the seasons are still regular (over a longer period).
