Why do you want to keep it?

My question was (and still is) if you are aware what it is you declare?

I'd say be accurate - i.e. keep as-is if there is no more info, but also 
don't invent info that does not exist!

Better yet: Contact upstream and ask for clarification.  I believe that 
in some jurisdictions (particularly in the US) a legal disclaimer is not 
binding if it lacks years of claimed coverage.  Upstream may appreciate 
a friendly notice on improvements to their legal hints.
