+- Issue #10827: Changed the rules for 2-digit years.  The time.asctime
+  function will now format any year when ``time.accept2dyear`` is
+  false and will accept years >= 1000 otherwise.  The year range
+  accepted by ``time.mktime`` and ``time.strftime`` is still system
+  dependent, but ``time.mktime`` will now accept full range supported
+  by the OS.  Conversion of 2-digit years to 4-digit is deprecated.
