Nice password by the way.

I thought the mention of "ticking time bombs" showed someone is thinking about this properly because end users get the same experience if e.g. a timer gets treated as negative in 2038 or the browser depends on the century field being 20 as they do if an X.509 certificate expires. If you are sure you handled all certs, but you blow up because your GPS epoch wrapped then you still screwed up.
