There are two questions to ask. What happens if the date overflows? For example, if my toaster clock is wrong, do I care? How many of these devices are designed to last 16+ years? Because what I suspect will happen is that things that are pointless to patch won't be patched and the things that need to last 5-10 years will start shipping with fixed firmware in 2028-2033. Or more likely, late 2037.
