Yes that is correct. What kind of date parsing is metric_fu mostly settled on. I was considering a few fixes and moving churn to 1.0.0 and as part of that dropping chronic for a simpler more standardized date format. Mostly to reduce dependancies and complexity. If you think metric_fu is moving towards chronic like date usage, I am happy to keep it. If not it would be awesome to move towards something standard like unix date
