Richard's post indicated that we do _not_ have to `accept that
inconvenience', that it isn't a critical point.

Making sure the copyright notices include the appropriate years is reasonable

already up-to-date -- but changing the date format is apparently not
necessary (according to Richard's post), and will result in many more
conflicts.
