:I vote for option (3), 64-bit time_t for all 64 bit architectures.
:I would go along with option (4) provided that the change-over came
:with FreeBSD 5.0 and it was not MFC'ed back to the 4.X series.
:The change from 4.X to 5.0 will have enough other things going on
:that I do not think that adding the time_t change would cause a
:lot more pain provided that old dump tapes and log files could

I agree completely. 64 bit time_t for all 64 bit archs, and
frankly I would also like to see a 64 bit time_t for 5.x on 32
bit archs... lets get the pain over and done with now rather then
later.
