+# since a user's system time could be set to a little in the past from what build time is (because of timezones,
+# corner cases, etc). As stated in the comment in src/urllib3/connection.py:
+#   When updating RECENT_DATE, move it to within two years of the current date,
+#   and not less than 6 months ago.
+#   Example: if Today is 2018-01-01, then RECENT_DATE should be any date on or

+# user's system time isn't set as too far in the past, because it could lead to SSL verification errors.
+# That is why we need RECENT_DATE to be set at most 2 years ago (or else test_ssl_wrong_system_time would
+# result in false positive), but before at least 6 month ago (so this test could tolerate user's system time being
+# set to some time in the past, but not to far away from the present).
