Date and time are too far away from each other

In Yakkety beta the date and time were moved farther away from each other than before.

There's now an about 15px space between them on my machine, whereas the gap between all other symbols is usually 12px.

Date and time are the two pieces of information that are logically the closest to each other, hence having a larger space between them than between irrelevant icons is really disturbing to my eyes.

I understand that it deserves a bigger space than a simple space character (as between the day of week, month and day), but it shouldn't be bigger than the gap between let's say wifi strenght and kbd layout, or between the time and the poweroff symbol etc.
