Question about 2k38: Aren't most Unixoid systems using 64-bit clocks now?
No. Even if they were you have 32 bit timestamps in lots of things that have to be handled even if time/time64 returns a 64 bit timestamp.
Those values can often be interpreted as unsigned, so we get another 68 years. By then, hopefully, the required protocol updates can be fully automated.
