I've heard both statements before, but I think what David says is the latest bid. But let's not continue this discussion here; that's really an Oracle-internal discussion.
I suggest that for this patch, we do not look at what year is used, only that it conforms to the special syntax required. We can come back and update the functionality later on if we agree that the rules permit an automatic updating.
