I was thinking that if the default format changes it should change at a
major rev (i.e. v7.0) since one might expect interfaces to need updates
at a major rev anyway.

But let me turn around the question, in case no one is bothered by this:

Does anyone think that the default date format _shouldn't_ change to
ISO-8601 for the next release?

(I expect to hear that it shouldn't change, but figured I should confirm
it...).
