Yes, I'm most concerned that at least the year shown is the current year.

(It only follows that the rest of the date components should be current
too, else it will 'even look more broken'.)

(By the way, if we could get this thing out of 2001 and back ticking
again, perhaps we could avoid repeating one of

Server time:    12:19
Local time:     20:19

by combining it with the choice list above it, but that's no big deal.)

Anyways, those two fellows should be shown in full date month year
format, (else who knows, maybe the machine really is stuck in 2001!) It
would look more uniform with the rest, and when setting any computer's
time things, one always wants to be sure we're not talking about right
time, but one day off, especially near any International Date Lines,
etc. (I would submit a patch but time stuff is not my area of
expertise.)

Allow me to bring up another point I'm sure you all will agree with.
Let's look again at this Preference,

Date format      No preference
                 16:12, January 15, 2001
                 16:12, 15 January 2001
                 16:12, 2001 January 15
                 2001-01-15T16:12:34

'Well, what does the "No preference" style date look like?' the user
says, banging his head against the wall.

In fact it is shown right there on the first page of the Preferences,
but still, please display it again here also too, next to the words 'No
preference'.

(Which by the way is a terrible translation for
'datedefault'               => 'No preference',
just use
'default'                   => 'default',
but alas, in e.g., MessagesZh* the former is slightly better than the
latter...)
