In fifty years 64 bit ints will be standard in digital watches. However,
changing the epoch or going to 64 bits would break existing programs. I
don't expect that my programs or I will live to see it, so I guess I'll
postpone worrying about it.

Not in any way to say that the problem doesn't exist, it's just not what
I consider *pressing*.
