Hi, 
blueprint here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/system-setting-relative-periods

I see the point of "setting disease", but at the same time I think it can sometimes be worth it to complicate things for a handful of admins (and devs) if it can make life easier for hundreds of regular users.

When tracker is used, users sometimes want to have daily reports with program indicators. Other places, they don’t have any shorter periods than months, so there is not need to have weeks as one of the default etc. I’m sure there are yet again other places where all the "financial years october" etc would be the default instead etc.
