It's a HN convention for all posts: If it wasn't from within the past year or so, the year it was posted gets added to the title.

Having to think about it per-topic is just making it more complicated for no good reason. Especially since SQL does get new additions.

People posts comments like that as a reminder because the title originally didn't have it in there, someone edited it in after the comment.
