    Great, then we just leave everything alone and say 32-bit user land is broken past 2038, doubt too many people are dying to run 32-bit userland after that, but if they are I can guarantee they’ll be running old binaries probably without source.

      I might be selfish for saying so, but if anyone set up their mind to run anything on a 32-bit system after 2038, they must care enough to compile themselves, right? Any binaries compiled today will be EOL by then.

        I think this is a reasonable assumption, but my experience suggests it will absolutely not be true for a lot of proprietary software.

        That being said, that stuff will only be supported on rhel which will bend over backwards to keep it sort of working somehow.
