What are 1972 requests in BW?

In my earlier post about RSPM (Request Status Process Management) I mentioned special data loads request numbers (so called TSN - Transaction Sequence Numbers). One of them is called housekeeping request. ID of those request starts with 1972 thus they are sometimes called as 1972 request or TSN from year 1972 or 1972-replacement request.

Request format:

{1972-XX-XX XX:XX:XX XXXXXX XXX}

Example of such a request can be:

{1972-01-01 01:00:00 001359 CET}      

Not sure why particular year 1972 was chosen. Perhaps it has something to do with a fact that SAP was founded in 1972 ? Not sure, probably not :-)

Example of the 1972 request as it was seen in RSMNG t-code:
