Comment:

 This was introduced long time ago, back when @rmccue worked on it during
 GsoC. See https://gsoc.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1980

 Seems like it was related to some date handling functions. I ran the core
 tests and the plugin tests from GitHub now without including `wp-
 admin/includes/admin.php` and it worked without a problem. So either it
 really isn't needed or we just don't know the reason why it's still
 included.
