In the end, I decided against backpatching. It is not entirely out of
the question that somebody *is* depending on this erroring out if
negative years are passed. But I am acting on my own opinion only; if
there are more votes for a backpatch, I am open to changing it.
If not, we're done here and I'd like to move along.
