I do not believe this is the case. Fix2010 came with many strict
warnings about not using it.

<package list snipped>

I do not have any of those packages. My Newt is pretty bare; the only
extras I have that might interact with Dates are Fix2010, TimeStamp (but
that only modifies the caret), and Daylight Savings.

It'd be neat to have a tool that allows one to determine which soups an
app accesses, but I'm not sure of the feasibility of this.

Mine as well.
