It wasn't clear how your suggestion of just redirecting date (standard date
output) into the file would result in:

"all entries beyond this one occur in the year xxxx"

being appended to the file.  Or were you meaning something like:

echo all entries beyond this one occur in the year `date +%Y` >> yum.log

Then it wasn't clear how logwatch handles this.  I know my approach, clunky
as it is, will work.
