Because you don't type it effectively: 12/5/15 is much shorter.
(and you can use anything else than a number as separator)

But if you don't put any separator, the dateutil parser consider the
format YYMMDD or YYYYMMDD.

I think the parser could probably be improved to take care of the
dayfirst and yearfirst parameter for those cases. So if someone wants he
can try to provide a patch to python-dateutil.

There are way too much benefit in the new design like clean and
maintainable code, no weird behaviour, support for more format, parsing
of more format.

This will not happen in standard Tryton, there is no acceptable reason
to have different widgets for such basic fields. The one should be good.
