I've already seen reimplementation of 2 digit dates here and there.

Fortunately I will not be involved. Hopefully I can make something from 2038 though.

I went to uni in the mid 90s when Y2K prep was all the rage, went back to do another degree 20 years later. It was interesting to see the graffiti in the CS toilets. Two digits up to about 1996, four digits for a decade, then back to two.
