Good point Vincente. Even though I don't like to use Wikipedia as a reference source there are many linguists who would agree. The issue is weather you are referring to a plural number of years or a possessive reference. Being of the older generation we learned it was possessive but many now say it's not; ergo no apostrophe. I think both are still acceptable. Good thread.
