I wonder how much attention this will get from the general public and non-technical managers? After all, programmers predicted doom for Y2k, and then "nothing happened".
This is almost the same situation, except I assume slightly less understandable to a non-programmer (you have to understand seconds-since-1970 and why we'd do that instead of storing the date as text, powers of 2 and the difference between 32 and 64-bit).
