A tighter comparison... The minhag as recorded in the SA clearly
ran into Lag baOmer -- and ending mourning with the usual miqtzas hayom
kekulo. Then the hilula deRashbi turned Lag baOmer into a holiday,
and this new holiday overrode the older minhagim of aveilus.

What's good for one new holiday ought to be good for another (YhA,
where this conversation began), no?

Tir'u baTov!
