I could get used to that, it's actually a great idea. Though probably impossible to implement due to inertia, at least currently.

The proof that it is probably not possible ever is that metric time was already adopted during the French Revolution, during the period when they were metricising everything else, and even they decided that it wasn't worthwhile.
