That's not a very helpful answer.
The DateTime code can't be that bad, can it?
If it is, surely fixing it should be a critical task?

That's a bad thing but it is unlikely that such issues
will ever be fixed with the existing situation. Seems that
we have to live these problems.

DateTime can't parse the representation of all the dates that can be created with it.

For example:

print DateTime(1000,0)

  0999/12/31

print DateTime('0999/12/31')
