But that didn't help with providing a release date as far as I can tell, nor has it really been used since or much in general (despite the potential usefulness?), right?
Got a tip for us?

When do you think iOS 7.1 beta 3 will come out?
- Thread starter The Doctor11
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Well I presume it'd only be put on the server if a release was imminent. The person hasn't been on since July, unfortunately, so unless someone else who frequents the forums knows how to make a similar script, we won't be able to make use of it again.
The entire reason ISO dates were invented was to solve this problem and get rid of the ambiguity when writing dates.
The ISO date format makes sense. When you write a number, the most significant portion is on the left. It's the same with ISO dates; the year is the most significant part so it's on the left.
ISO dates also sort correctly without additional fiddling. They really are the answer to all the world's date-writing problems!
Now if I could only get the USA to switch to the metric system. It would be nirvana!

Metric system is superior.
Aiigihhrrghghh!! Please, for all the love of whatever deity you might believe in, if any, use ISO date format.
YYYY-MM-DD
Ambiguity sucks.
I vote for MM-YYYY-DD, just to keep things interesting.
By a long shot.
What the **** is a foot? Whos foot is it?
Mind you, I do say "I'm 5 foot 10" instead of 177 cm
Fun and we just really want stuff and the only thing we can do to get closer to it is speculate.
I am sure I will get corrected on this by those who write it down, but it seems that the last few have been released later than normal. (Time wise)
Much more often than not, in particular with beta releases (short of perhaps some sort of emergency break-fix type of beta update) it's generally around 10 AM Pacific.

Minus the timing part.
I'm in 'central time zone', so noon was my error. Anyway, here's to hoping for vast improvements for the newer 64 bit 5s system... (7.1b2 has been very good!)
