`DateTimeStringConverter.getDateFormat()` is already package-private and should remain that way. `DateStringConverter.getDateFormat()` will becomes package-private in version 23 (we need to give 1 version notice before removal).

There will be a refactoring patch at a later point anyway to do some internal rearrangement.
