I agree as well. YYYYMMDD would be better.
But can only repeat what was said several times before:
Minion 3 most likely will not be updated with any "features".
Please wait for Minion 4 and live with the given "features"
, or manually update your addons without Minion.
And no: I do not know when and if Minion 4 will be arriving.
We just need to be patient
