Description:
date format in the mysql error log is old-school:
100817 13:04:20

please write a proper date, like this:
2010-08-17 13:04:20

How to repeat:

it's nearly as irritating as reading time like 1pm instead of 13:00:00 or 13h00

Noted in 5.6.9, 5.7.0 changelogs.

mysqld now writes dates to the error log in ISO (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss)
format. It also includes its process ID following the date. Thanks to
Davi Arnaut for the patch.
