Can’t sort wrong if it’s deleted.

Probably not that big a deal but I’m living the xkcd comic re: ISO 8601 dates.

As the one person who comes back every 3 to 24 months maybe I’ll put a word in for affirmative metadata (like -RELEASE) as the equivalent of surgical “THIS LEG / NO! THE OTHER LEG!” markings re: being confident that I’ve actually grabbed the right things, but that’s probably only happened in DragonFly when I’ve overlooked the .0 vs .1 thing, so the bikeshed is a lovely color this year.
