If someone wants to do that... Meanwhile, there are a few files that actually have ranges of years. All of those should be replaced with the correct list of years. However, one needs to find the *correct* list of years. If someone replaced 1990, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1999 with 1990-1999, we need to convert it back to the correct list. It would be erroneous to put each and every year between 1990 and 1999 into the list. If you want to find these files, and then use available information to determine which are the correct years for each one, that would be useful. We could install the correct list of years. The correct list of years would include each year in which nontrivial changes were released.
