That is an understandable impulse. OTOH, I saw time_t vs int issues as well as uint64 vs int which were a mismatch between ondisk (file format) and in-memeory data. Fixing these now means getting ready for potential changes of time_t and similar - unless you "fix" these things by wrong casts just to quell gcc, of course. I just whish this had come upon us earlier in the cycle.
