Why to you feel it's best to stick with separation that doesn't happen naturally?
I don't think it's best which is why I think it's stupid.
I think the main spirit behind all this is to root the haiku in just one time.
Having more than one goes against the (supposed) simplicity of haiku.
That seems reasonable and can be done without assigning rigid season-meanings
to words; especially when no one agrees on which go where.
So what you originally said is pretty much what I believe as well.
Haiku is fun(ny).
