4/1/7 ought to be a valid date format

[anonymous]

When I created a milestone with date "4/1/7", I got the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Actually, a "valid" date would be 4/1/07.

Non-ISO8601 dates are parsed with the regular Python date parser, which does not seem to accept years coded on a single digit.

Propose as wontfix.

Yes, as eblot said you need to use a 2-digit year, which is standard for date formatting.
