Rejected. This will break backward compatibility. |

I'm not suggesting to change the internal date format, only what it sets as the output filename. How could this possibly break anything? |

It will change all output templates that use these meta fields. This breaks everything that relies on old format, e.g. file directories autocreated based on output template. |

I'd like to propose that when specifying %(upload_date)s or %(release_date)s in the filename template that the returned date be in the ISO standard format of yyyy-MM-dd. The current format is yyyyMMdd with no delimiter. As far as I know, this is not possible to do using the Python string formatting options.
