New submission from Sam Wainwright <arguewithpl...@gmail.com>:

The value of datetime.MINYEAR (1) seems arbitrarily restrictive. There are 
plenty of reasons why users of the standard library might want to work with 
negative years. Workarounds involving things like astropy don't work in all 
cases, particularly when you're working with other third-party libraries that 
use python dates internally and forking them is a hassle.
