There is debate on this.  GCC/Bintuils/GDB require years to be
specifically listed in which changes occur.  Generally this means
discrete years, but I believe "2002-2003, 2009" maybe accepted also.
The listed years should not imply changes happened in years there was no
change, which 2002-2009 would imply.

This is also what the lawyers at work require.
