The Y2K reference is no longer needed as it only points out that Python's use of C standard functions doesn't generally suffer from Y2K issues; the point regarding conventions for conversion of 2-digit years in :func:strptime is still valid.

Some advice on what indexes to add/remove would be appreciated alongside review.

These are likely no longer needed as the paragraph now no longer refers to them directly as topics.

Bit late to the game, but thanks for this PR!

Hopefully this doesn't result in some weird box-checking certification process deciding that we're no longer Y2K compliant 😄.
