closes #17213
Personally I don't think the cutoff should be configurable (for a start, Chrono doesn't make it configurable, so there'd be no way to control what happens when the Chrono parser is used)
The Polars docs already point to the Chrono docs, so I think that's sufficient (I've also made a PR to chrono to note the cutoff in their docs chronotope/chrono#1598)
This is one of those borderline bugfix / breaking changes that I think would be better suited to 1.2 than to 1.1.1. At the same time, I don't think it's significant enough that it warrants waiting until 2.0
