Correct.

Ok, this is what happened: before the last update to my system (I am running
Tumbleweed, currently on 20160126), the default short date format for my locale
(en_GB) was as mentioned above (Thu 28 Jan). It has since changed to
28/01/2016, which is what you are seeing, and so am I now on this machine
(though not on my OpenSUSE 13.1 box, though at least I can actually change the
defaults in System Configuration, as opposed to KDE5 (bug #340982 refers).

So all in all, you're correct that this bug should be closed insofar as the
default short date format now does display the year (thus resolving the
ambiguity) and the long date format would be too unwieldy.

Yeah, I know. I leave mine open for a few days after last comment unless I'm in
direct contact with the reporter. It does increase workload a bit though.
