@MatthewScholefield Is this for just displaying the date or will that be for other uses when accessed by skills?
Have you heard of the "Millenium Bug" which necessitated an update for a wide variety of devices (including computers). Due to problems caused by using dates with only two digit years (80-99) instead of four digit years (1980-1999). With the previous past year 2000 and previous 2 digit years and badly thought out software's year support. Software which was date/time sensitive had problems handling the event and working how they were, supposed to when designed.
As well as the size of the undertaking required to perform the fixing of the issue in the first place.
Read the article from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem) or Britannica (https://www.britannica.com/technology/Y2K-bug).
You want to go back to having a 2 digit year and potentially need to do the patching all over again when the next millennium rolls around! Wasting yet more time having to make another fix for the same issue where 4 digit year and an adjustment on valid years range would save time and other resources.

The faceplate display is a totally separate function that won't affect anything else, so no worries :).

@MatthewScholefield Can you guarantee that it will remain this way if the change is implemented? That it won't be affected (or affect anything in future)?

Yes I can.

@MatthewScholefield Then I don't mind too much. As long as it doesn't confuse people too much when another new millennium comes along.
