GPG keys aren't 2038-safe?

PGP is pretty old at this point, and kinda jank.

RFC 1991 only gives them 4 bytes (32bit); not sure if there have been any later additions to rectify this but I don’t think so since even the latest RFC (9580) has them listed as 4 bytes…

It's a 32-bit unsigned integer, so that should give us until Feb 2106.
