Apparently, humanity is damned to repeat it's mistakes over and over again. "100 years should be enough" is what led us to a mountain of Y2K issues, because when would a two digit year ever be ambigious? But I guess it's a psychological issue. Unless you're a megalomaniac, it's just natural to assume that your decisions won't matter much outside of your life and lifetime. And in that case, 100 years totally is enough because I probably won't live that long. And even more, in a lot of cases, it's also the correct assumption and the project won't live longer than a few years. So, thinking about it, unless you are developing a novel standard or something that you want the world to adopt, 100 years probably IS fine. Unfortunately, KSUID wants to be a novel standard, so there's an issue.
