What are you going to do when it is August 11th 2121? Reuse the build number?

Add a 1. in front. It earned it.
not a problem. it's physically impossible for any software to be maintained that long.
you can't prove me wrong
Sure I can. It will just take some time to do so.
If the project actually does last that long, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to just extended the version by 2 digits to include the full year.

You mean that you're _sure_ that nothing will be dependent on the format of the version string of a >100yo project?
I'd bet everything I own against that
Is it a Mozilla project because that is some Mozilla type version inflation?
Instruct the AI to move the project to a versioning system that supports full calendar year.
This is a solved problem.
