The value of datetime.MINYEAR (1) seems arbitrarily restrictive. There are plenty of reasons why users of the standard library might want to work with negative years. Workarounds involving things like astropy don't work in all cases, particularly when you're working with other third-party libraries that use python dates internally and forking them is a hassle.
