I was just looking for a reviewer so that I could push this change and 
get it out of the way. Steve has the engine running in the get away car :-)

I think there needs to be wider discussion as to how to deal with the 
copyright dates. It regularly comes up during code reviews because some 
reviewers insist on the dates being updated. I don't know if a yearly on 
Jan 1 will work as there will be outgoing changes in the team forests 
that will be missed. Also I'm not sure we want to leave it as long as a 
year anyway. Every few months or periodically at integration time feels 
right to me although I don't have a strong opinion on this topic.
