The other issue is whether to throw error for year zero, rather than
silently interpreting it as 1 BC. I can't recall whether that behavior
was intentional at the time, but given our current rather strict
interpretation of date validity checking, it hardly seems like a good
idea now. What I suggest is that we throw error in 8.4 and beyond,
but not back-patch that change, so as to avoid introducing a behavioral
change in minor releases.
That sounds reasonable. I'm still trying to find out how it was managed to
get such a date into the database, since it seems not to be intended
behavior by the client. Maybe it's an errorneous to_date() formatting.
