What's special about year 3000?

I'm just curious.
Code:
v:\> echo %@makeage[2999-12-31,23:59:59]

v:\> echo %@makeage[3000-01-01,00:00:00]
TCC: Invalid date "%@makeage[3000-01-01,00:00:00]"

Interesting! My first report was on Win 7/32. On Win 10/64 I get:
Code:
v:\> ver

TCC  24.02.46 x64   Windows 10 [Version 10.0.18362.1]

v:\> echo %@makeage[3000-01-01,00:00:00]
TCC: Invalid date "%@makeage[3000-01-01,00:00:00]"
 
Because, why would you do that?
At first, I wanted to see if I could reverse this (below). Then I wanted to see what the limit was because I couldn't find any mention of it in the help.
Code:
v:\> echo %@agedate[%@eval[2**63-1]]
30828-09-14,02:48:05.477
 
Code:
c:\users\jlc\utils>plugin /l ISO8601-x64.dll

This is useful for people who take advantage of Special Relativity.

(Oh, great. Now I'm gonna have "Synchronicity" stuck in my head for the rest of the weekend.)
 
If the year is >= 3000, TCC assumes you've made a typo. (Because, why would you do that?).
Because I want to ensure the program works correctly in all circumstances.
Placing arbitrary restrictions like that have bitten developers not once in the past already.
Enough to recall the 2 digits year.
 
Rex said "24.02.47 Extended maximum year in dates & ranges to 30827 ".

I don't see that in @MAKEAGE. Should I?

Code:
v:\> ver
TCC  24.02.47   Windows 7 [Version 6.1.7601]

v:\> echo %@makeage[3000-12-31]
TCC: Invalid date "%@makeage[3000-12-31]"

Ditto for TOUCH.
