Comment (by Rarst):

 I get your point in principle for arbitrary date (which is why I by far
 prefer ISO formats in practice, e.g. 2019-10-07).

 However in this specific instance the date is not ambiguous, it uses the
 ''current'' day and is immediately followed by human-readable format
 value.

 I am not sure what practical improvement is possible here.

 We could do something like Go with standardized value for date examples,
 but frankly I find that harder to explain than PHP formats.
