-**Strongly prefer Unix timestamps or datetime objects in UTC** and always
-work in UTC for as long as possible. When reading/writing/manipulating results
-from some period of time in the past, always err on the side of caution. For
-example, open an extra file into the past just in case it happens to include
-result lines that have timestamps that are still considered valid (of course,
-ignore results in the file that are no longer valid).

 `keep a changelog`_ for the standard we follow. Of note, add Added, Changed,
