  • Aw: Re: Subtract n months from datetime [Why?]

    What makes sense depends on where you're looking from.

    It's 28 February, you need to keep it for 5 years, therefore you could
    reason that you can dispose of it on 28 February, 5 years hence.

    However, that happens to be a leap year.

    Should you still have it on 29 February?

    Nope because that's *after* the 5 years (they end Feb 28).

    If it originates on March 1st, however, you shouldn't dispose of it on Feb 29th just yet.
