Why bother? Someone (I doubt that it will be the same team) will need to update 
the code, file format, docs, etc. (as everyone else who uses time_t) and deal 
with compatibility issues. Let's hope that in 24 years HDF5 will still be 
relevant and ingenious people will come up with a solution :-).

On a more serious note, HDF5 doesn't use time for its internal operations. Time 
is stored as any other type of data, i.e., applications should be dealing with 
this issue.
