OK. I strongly suggest that we use ranges.

Well, looking at Emacs, one of the central FSF projects: They also do
a `grand copyright year replacement' once a year (cf. commit 106782 in
its bzr repository) in all files which have the FSF copyright notice –
using ranges, BTW. Thus I don't see any reason why we shouldn't do
that either.
My corollary is still that we the copyright conversion script is
buggy :-)
