# Description
Currently `into bits` will try to coerce a `date`/`Value::Date` into a
string with a locale/timezone specific behavior (See #12268).
To resolve the ambiguity, remove the support for `date` entirely.
# User-Facing Changes
`date now | into bits` will now fail.
Instead you can use `... | format date '%c' | into bits` or any more
specific explicit choices to achieve the same behavior.
As `into bits` has minimal uses (and only pulled out of `extra` with
#12140), this doesn't warrant a deprecation.
