    [$] 2038: only 21 years away
    Sometimes it seems that things have gone relatively quiet on the year-2038
    front. But time keeps moving forward, and the point in early 2038 when
    32-bit time_t values can no longer represent times correctly is
    now less than 21 years away. That may seem like a long time, but the
    relatively long life cycle of many
    embedded systems means that some systems deployed today will still be in
    service when that deadline hits. One of the developers leading the effort
    to address this problem is Arnd Bergmann; at Linaro Connect 2017 he gave an
    update on where that work stands.
