As seen at https://docs.python.org/3/faq/general.html#is-python-y2k-year-2000-compliant; this is 2014 - Y2K compliance hasn't been a relevant topic for, well, 14 years, and I doubt this is a "frequently asked question" nowadays. The "As of August 2003" portion is even out of date (11 years old!).

IMHO this ought to be taken out of the docs, unless this is still something people are asking about.
