I disagree. Given a 64-bit time_t it's not inconceivable that time travel 
will be invented before we overflow epoch+(2^63-1).

Unless your server can accurately read my mind (something that will NOT 
happen before the above-mentioned milestone occurs), just leave this stuff 
alone. Otherwise I might give you a quit-dorking-around-with-my-data 
experience.)
