A number of you will have noticed already that the 64-bit time_t transition is now in progress in Debian experimental.

The goal of this transition is to ensure that 32-bit architectures in trixie (whether they are currently release architectures, or out of archive, etc) will be capable of handling current and future timestamps referring to times beyond 2038.

A crucial effort.
