And you assume that changes to filesystems, new filesystems being created or other such things won’t at some point create a edge case that creates a problem?
When you could just be safe? Sounds stupid as fuck to me to blindly trust nothing will happen to create problems.
I understand you feel very strongly about four digit years, but I really don’t see any situation that I couldn’t sort out with a simple script.
Usually I don’t put dates in file names in the first place, but when I do I use the UTC timestamp; a date without a timezone is inherently fuzzy, and it’s easier to compare and differentiate numerical times.
If someone used two digit years in their naming convention I wouldn’t even blink, let alone get the woodchipper, life is too short to get angry over stuff like that.

They’ve never had to recover a hard drive. It’s okay, they’ll learn the hard way.
