For some systems that people who couldn't really do a proper change and the businesses promised they were actually end-of-life, it was a reasonable choice (there were probably bigger fish to fry). 20 years on and it looks like some replacements didn't happen.

If I remember right, there is probably another group 20 more years out that used some date changes to get buy for Y2K. I do hope someone replaces them.
