 Thanks for the ticket links, I hadn't looked back that far in trac and I
 don't mean to rehash these discussions if they are considered final
 (though they were 6+ years ago). I read through them and mostly agree,
 since potentially showing wordy `'F j, Y'` or `'l, F j, Y'` formatted
 dates in the Date column for every row of a crowded list-table would be
 insane.

 Also, since the http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen page
 (linked from the General Settings screen help tab) does note that the
 date/time formats do not apply to the admin screens, that may be enough
 explanation.

 To keep with consistency, should the time/date format options be ignored
 below the WYSIWYG editor on Edit Post pages for the "Last Edited By USER
 on _" time since it's ignored for the "Draft Saved at" time directly
 preceding it? Or should we use it in both places?
