Would be nice to use YYYY-MM-DD in international channels, which is ISO8601 and there is no YYYY-DD-MM standard in existence or use to confuse it with. dkms has had multiple hanging PRs for some time - https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/dkms/-/merge_requests/3 and the changes even in the 3.0.13 versions are neat... hope that one is resolved soon.
