-1 As I indicated on JIRA, I don't believe that this change meets the spec or intent of the definition on Chronology. That is specified to not throw any exceptions and to handle all years, valid or not.
I don't foresee any significant issue where a year is not validated by this method. Years out of range should simply return false, again something that is within the spirit of the spec "a chronology that does not support the concept of a year must return false."
