Yeah. I was working on an IoT system that uses NTP to set time. I generally plan a 20 year life span for tings like this. There's S/W I wrote over 20 years ago that is in devices still in use. The only good thing about this is that I'll not likely be around when trouble crops up. I didn't see any way to accommodate changes that are nearly decades away in code I write today.

Once in a while you'll stumble upon a Novell Netware server that's been running since the mid 1990s. Twenty years isn't a long time.
Novell 3.x or 4. IPX/SPX only. print, file and directory service. Netware client for windows. Man I loved those days.
