Is it? If I recall Y2K had more to do with 2 digit year fields that
should
have been 4 digit.
Whereas we have a 0 digits year field.
I suspect it was not common practice to leave logs on the server for more
than a year when Allman originally wrote syslog, and I have not seen an
environment where logs are left in /var/log for over a year.
But now, fascist-like laws in a lot of countries require us to store log
files for a *long* time, for everything.
