Several different people have made them. I grabbed V7 date and added
the canonical hack to have years < 70 be 20xx and built it on my Venix
box. I've not done an extensive audit, but it's the only thing I've noticed.

P.S. It's short:

commit 25485e099491fd1ae867c26043a798e47f7983ad
Author: Warner Losh <imp@freebsd.org>
Date:   Thu Nov 15 23:51:59 2018 -0700

    Apply Y2K fix to date

    Treat all two digit dates < 70 as 20xx and >= 70 as 19xx.
