Yes. My initial implementation was exactly that. The thing is, that
I suspect some fuel gauge implementations may only expose the year
or just year + month. I chose 3 files, since receiving 'YYYY-MM'
instead of full ISO code might be more unexpected than not having
the DAY file available. But I don't have a strong opinion on this.
