Do as you like, but I'll bet my reputation that decision will become
an unnecessary limitation for the application at some point in the
future.
At the least, you have completely crippled PostgreSQL's powerful date

combine results to produce monthly, quarterly, or yearly reports, that
you'll have some crazy regular expressioning going on.
