If drizzle has not already done so, may I suggest that the YEAR datatype be ripped out? There are actually two representations -- YEAR(2) and YEAR(4) -- with different semantics. The only conceivable purge of this idiocy is to save a byte on disk using different compressions of the actual year. I wasn't aware that anything dumber than tiny blobs and three byte binary existed, but there you have it.
