@kc2ihx Yeah, any old applications not expecting it would display dates 70 years in the past, but anything modern could check for a new system global that indicated the epoch was bumped up and factor that into its calculations
That way the new software could still run on unpatched systems until 2040 and show proper dates on both systems
