Obviously not speaking for any of the people who actually work on this, but
you need to keep in mind that the time field is defined as an *unsigned* 32-
bit number, so we'll have another 68 years after the year 2038 to take care
of that.
Except that time_t is signed so it's going to cause breakage if you just
assign a 32-bit OpenPGP time to a 32-bit time_t. Making it 64 bits would both
prevent this and signal to 32-bit time_t users that they need to take special
care with time values.
