IMO.
However, even if you say "by 2001", I don't think it excludes the possibility that the event, whatever it is, will only happen some time in 2001. When dealing with a year like this, I don't think one considers that things have to happen by a specific day. Otherwise they would say so (by 31st December 2000/2001).
