It's 2017. I think it's time to remove the Y2K warning from this: https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html :P. It's 17 years past the sell-by date for that notice.

The main message there is about the parsing of the two-digit year, so while it might worth it to remove the mention of Y2K, it would only be a minor change.
