Sadly this could be the best option other than a downstream revert of
the commit introducing the '%Y' format.

That would also make us loose all the potentially meaningful warnings
for standard format conversions.

Interesting, indeed. I see some old friends in this debate, which has
been going on for more than 13 years and mentions "coming up with a
design" being the "first step" in a message written a year ago.
Surely, this would be the best option, but using Exim 4.96.2 until GCC
defined and made such an improvement (if ever) doesn't sound like a
good idea, obviously.
Cheers
Daniel
