Good question.

Personally I see no reason why not.

I think we don't have anyone to drive such an
initiative forward, but I'm always happy to
induct new volunteers!

Someone needs to:
* Post an email to libc-alpha requesting a comment
  on a new policy of updating copyright on all files
  at the start of the year.
* Get concensus.
* Document it as part of the trunk and release branch
  maintenance.

Are you volunteering? :-)

I think we talked briefly about this when we added
the new copyright year policy pieces.

Cheers,
Carlos.
