I disagree with this statement. While this may be true for short amount of
time, having 20 documents "5 month ago" is useless.

1) Because "5 month ago" was.. heu.. well we're feb 28, so we're kinda in
march already. Is that 5 month ago day for day +/- 15 days ? that is to say
.. Feb, Jan, Dec, Nov.... Oct 15 to Nov 15th , Or is it from Oct 1st to Oct
31st ?
2) Complete lack of granularity. There's a big difference between something
last year in Dec and in July.

This is the exact reason the Classic notebook UI switch format after a
certain time.
