Greetings, RFC2821 and RFC2822, the long-awaited updates to 821 and 822, have been released. In reading through them, there are various clarifications and declarations of obsolescence which support DJB's ideas (such as clearly forbidding bare LFs in message content). However, the 5-digit year (mentioned at http://cr.yp.to/y2k.html) is also marked obsolete. I can't see any obvious problems that using a 5-digit year would have caused; does anyone know why it has been removed?
