Too bad for the programs that use NTP numbering as the time and date.

Once 2036, or even 2035 shows up, set a flag somewhere that we are preparing
for rollover. Heck, do it now. Mark 1900 as "history" and 2036 as "future".
When 2036-02-07 comes around, mark that one as history as well.
Unfortunately, legacy programs won't be able to deal with it. Perhaps it's a
good thing that we have almost 20 years to prepare for it.

Yep, this could be like Y2K. Once the clock rolls, I don’t think NTP yet has
a field showing epoch number so how do you differentiate between 1900 and 2036?

A few weeks ago I was requesting help in thinking through some DHCP lease
issues. Turns out, we think, that there were some Calix system clock
fruitiness.
Anyone care to guess what is magic about February 7, 2036?
