Re: RedBoot: Saner date command



As for the year validity check... it *is* almost 2004 already, so I
don't see why one would insist on allowing a date < 2000 to be input.

1970 - 1999 are valid years and it is possible that someone would want to test that their application gracefully handles those dates because (for example) an RTC with a dead battery may produce those dates.


Plus, we sell large numbers of our boards to time travel researchers.
