I agree it would be better if we had 64-bit time_t's for 5.x-STABLE. I would really really like to see that. However, we are hoping to make 5.x turn into 5.x-stable with a release of 5.2 in December.
In fact, 5-stable happens no sooner than 5.3 in Feb 2004. Make the switch before 5.2 and you have enough time to deal with ports that suddenly start to break.
Since sparc64 is already labeled tier 1, I would suggest we spend the rest of this month (= 2 weeks) getting feedback from the field. If the resistance is small enough, we make the switch early Nov. and use the remaining time to 5.2 as a shake-out period of src. We then use the time between 5.2 and 5.3 to shake out problems in ports.
No mistakes: "we" does not include "marcel" :-)
