`"short"` date skeleton parses single-digit years #928

Open craigkovatch opened 2 years ago

craigkovatch commented 2 years ago

Our code is exercising this commit right now and it feels very, very strange that with the "short" date skeleton, we get these results:

I understand this change for days and months. And I'm sure there are obscure use cases (archaeologists?) for whom parsing a single-digit year makes sense. But my guess is the vast majority of cases where globalize parsing is being used for e.g. form input validation, this is unwanted and frankly confusing behavior.

I'm not sure I read this thread correctly -- is there a way to disable the behavior where single-digit years now parse? Seems like this should be opt-in behavior for years, or at the very least an option to opt-out.

Hi, this issue has sat without comment for 14 months now. Is there something more I should do in order to get it some attention?
