Maybe we should have a flag to enable it and/or why would we want to add that to other drivers? NMEA may be special since some of the date formats only have 2 digits of year. I think the standard century rollover fixup based on the build date would be better than something that is hard to explain. Another possibility would be to have a per-driver GPS flag and apply the normal GPS rollover fixup based on the build date. That is at least reasonable to describe. But it only works for 20 years. -- These are my opinions.
