Deprecate two digit year formats %D %g %y

Hi folks, [Spurred by NPR Y2K review article.] Could we please all make a New Year's resolution to stop people from reviving two digit year formats that are starting to reappear, making it impossible to figure out some intended dates, and officially deprecate all two digit year formats %D %g %y across all standards, and tools default to options like gcc's and clang's -Wformat-y2k (included in -Wformat=2) and clang's -Wdeprecate. -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis Calgary, Alberta, Canada La perfection est atteinte Perfection is achieved non pas lorsqu'il n'y a plus rien à ajouter not when there is no more to add mais lorsqu'il n'y a plus rien à retirer but when there is no more to cut -- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
