Where is the cursor (what date)? The 0th anniversary will never appear.

Makes sense. I have not noticed my error because
normally I know the start year. My error stemmed
from using the menu to insert an anniversary while
the cursor in the calendar buffer is on the
correct day and month of the current year (the
current year because the correct year was not
known, a common occurrence in regard to age).
Would it be wrong to allow future birth days in
diary-anniversary, so past and future are
symmetric?
Thank you.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
I'm not sure I understand the problem here. As far as I can tell, it's
fine to insert a future birthday. I tried:
%%(diary-anniversary 12 14 2021) X's Birthday
And then the 14th of December 2022 had that date marked. (We're not
marking the 0th anniversary.)
But I may be misunderstanding what this report is about. Do you have a
recipe, starting from "emacs -Q", that demonstrates the problem?

And when you don't know the year `diary-anniversary' expressions work
without specifying a year too (since Emacs 22 or so).

I see. Then I guess there's nothing to do here in this bug report, and
I'm closing it. (If this is a mistake, please respond to the debbugs
address and we'll reopen.)
