Our git history is a far more reliable guide to how long a specific
file has existed or which versions included it. The copyright notices
exist only for legal reasons. In my layman's understanding of
copyright law, it's better to take a maximalist approach to labeling
the copyright years. That's why, for example, we advance the end
date on every file every year, even if it receives no other changes
that year.
