Reassuringly anachronistic to use acres as a unit of measure on the moon.

For historical reasons, a moon acre is approximately 16.7% smaller than an earth acre.
It's an official unit of the only flag on the Moon to date. What else would you suggest?
Maybe the same units basically everybody has always ever used (in earnest) for space tech (including NASA)?
