It would be silly to block someone from using that nickname. OTOH, 'developer' is rather clearly a replace-me. You could also use example@. > * 2019-01-01 + 30 days is unclear, if we do not use UTC time I don't see how '30 days' vs absolute date makes any difference regarding 'UTC time'. Sure, some people take it as literal 30 days, some take it as 'month + 1' but that's not a major problem. That said, I agree with the change, just not with the justification. > * The new date format is easy to read and write and easy to parse > internationally.
