I still do not see a reason to put a packed on date on a packet, that is of no use. I do always put the date they were produced however. You could have 10 yr old seeds but if you put 2012 - 2013 on them what does that mean?

Yes, one could have 10 yo seeds and put a current packed by date on them but if germination tests are done and germination is still good I don't see a problem with that.
Most larger and some smaller companies store their seeds in temperature and humidity controlled environments. I remember once when there were power outages at TGS due to a hurricane that Linda was very concerned about the seeds in storage. But I do think that she might have had generators set up after that LONG power outage. For shorter times it shouldn't have been much of a problem.
