Linux has been switching that to 64 bit, applications just need to catch up and use the new call. They've got almost a decade and a half, so I'd hope they'll all be updated, but you know there'll be something subtle and critical that only gets done at the last second.

perennial calendars – specifically leap week calendars (already implemented in the ISO week date calendar) – keeps all the advantages of 28 day months, and the leap week (instead of a leap day) allows for everything to stay lined up and doesn’t interrupt the 7-day week cycle
