Comment (by DJPaul):

 The 2037 thing was to prevent bugs based on how PHP handles dates on 32bit
 operating systems. I know it was a UI-only "fix" because people can send
 whatever value in the form submission, but figured that was a harmless
 edge case. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem (I took one
 year off of that for safety).

 I forget why I took it down to 1902, but probably a related reason.

 As long as we can dynamically find out the maximum year supported in PHP,
 we should be able to implement the restriction only for affected sites.
