Subject: proposition for fixing Y292B bug

Hello dear developers and enthusiasts.
My name is David and recently I wrote a blog post about "necessity"
of fixing 64-bit signed integer overflow of time_t, sometime in year
292 billion. I proposed this to simply have software complete solution
for timekeeping. The blog had somewhat nice feedback and few people
told me to write to your mailing list.
As I mention in the list, I am no way experienced enough in kernel
space to turn this into full merge request, so I post it to you and
if anyone would like to build on this idea, it is GPLd for your convenience.
Any feedback is highly appreciated so please, include me in CC's.
The blog is written with funny attitude, but it is in no way meant to
be joke, parody or insult.

Thank you for your time.
