slightly modified according to which patch? Your quoting my thread but 
seem to refer to a different patch ;)

I personally don't like the idea of flooding the deprecation log now - 
there is absolutely no reason to do so, is it? Why can't both formats be 
valid options, especially because extbase is internally using the 
DateTime object which also only accepts the "date" format syntax and 
using that syntax would prevent the conversion to timestamps, which 
might not be a good idea for dates out of the scope of timestamps 
anyway. By only allowing/supporting strftime we're solving one issue, 
but are creating another one for those special date ranges, don't we?

So I have to give my -1 for the current solution.
