Sorry, but I personally dislike that format , so dont count on me with that one
 :)

I dont want to imply any further-use, scenarios, or to educate users regardding
possible future scenarios .. so imo thats not an argument

While I personally use "%d.%m.%Y - %H:%M:%S", I can imagine that there are many
people out there which like to have "yesterday" and so on  ... I simply dont
want to make a decision on that, for as long as it is not clear what is the
mostly adopted format.
