All numbers prior to 2000 are irrelevant--no one ever said one-thousand-x-hundred anything. Likewise, once we hit the 2100s, it'll for sure go back to "twenty one" all the time.
2001-2009 are their own category because "twenty oh one" sounds dumb. But I maintain that years like "two thousand fifty-four" will stick around to some degree all the way to "two thousand ninety nine."
