Hmm.  I don't believe calendar(1) has education value (or to the
extent it has quantifiable value, N <= 0).  Nor does it have more
subjective "fun" value.  It certainly isn't integral to the system.
It's a toy of a certain era that has aged poorly.

It belongs with other fun and non-integral components, like
sopwith(6), in ports.

Best,
Conrad

P.S., calendar(1) is not ncal(1).  Sometimes the similar names are confusing.
