I was reviewing the latest patch and beside of this part being modified (@Ogra, 
would you be fine with that? And btw Jan 1 2017 is a Saturday), I am not fully 
understanding what exactly looking at file dates gains. The date will be less 
wrong but still potentially off by days. The system date would be corrected via 
NTP and I believe that would also update the RTC (which without a battery is 
lost again).
Could you elaborate what would be gained by using the file date compared to 
possibly just extending ogra's patch to move anything before the year x or 
without a date to an artificial year x?
