Yes.  We already came close on 1990.  The way 2001 is structured makes
it much easier to comply (than 1996) while still providing a modern
programming environment (with 64-bit file sizes, etc.).  There are
many obscure options in 2001 that we will likely never implement --
but that's why they're options; most other operating systems won't
implement them either.
