Some filesystem timestamps may still be 32-bit but that shouldn't be hard to fix.

I have had to convert code from the early 2000's just to make it run on my machine. The change from 32 to 64 bit processors forced many, many packages to be rewritten. But you are correct. Lot's of code won't make it but for desktop GNU/Linux workstations this code is largely irrelevant and may be irrelevant elsewhere as well. -- Systemd: solving all the problems that you never knew you had.
