After all of the work that was done to get the DateTime into core, for various reasons, improvements to the module didn't progress at the same rate as the rest of 8.0.x. As a result, there are some very old issues in the queue (I have triaged a lot of them), and there is some work that needs to be done both on the module and on date handling in core in general. Thankfully, I don't think there is anything that can be considered a release blocker (though we do have some bugs that can be addressed outside this issue).
The purpose of this issue is to (1) discuss what needs to / should be done in 8.0.x, (2) discuss future plans that need to be deferred to 8.1.x, and (3) discuss/track this in one place as a lot of it is interrelated and we can create child issues.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
I think this would be better in the core queue.
Also adding a related meta as a child.
Also we should take into account the recommendations in https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3326611 →
