I won't live long enough to care, but it seems like we are setting up for a Y2100 problem. The Y2k issue was understandable and justifiable - when a lot of the systems were built, the dominant carrier of data was an 80 column punch card or card image. Two digits was VERY expensive.

It seems we have fallen into the habit of doing 2 digit years again in a lot of cases and there isn't an architectural reason for it. Am I the only one seeing this?

I almost never see this, partly because there are lots of relevant things that happened in, say, 1920. I've been impressed by society's willingness to put those extra two digits everywhere.

The much larger issue is the coming 2k38 problem, though I don't know how much progress has been made on that front
