You caught me in another hasty act, Jim.
The most I can say is that acceptance of minute, hour, and day
in Table 6 implies acceptance of year, and the discussions in SP 811 and

That is not a balanced trade, Jim. The non-SI units of time,
(including "year"), have a higher status, all three documents considered,
than the deprecated units in Table 8, including hectare. No dice!
