This is very much ambiguous ... 

I can understand it does not show day when day is today; but i can not understand it won't show year when year is not current one.

@base-system: Is this introduced by gentoo specific patches?

Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev

it's trivial for you to test that theory with USE=vanilla

i dont see any problem with the output in question.  coreutils has always truncated the date according to how recent it is.  if you want unambiguous output, use --time-style.

you might be interested in 

ls -l --time-style=long-iso

or

ls -l --full-time
