As an alpha user, I feel that the alpha should NOT be migrated to a
64-bit time_t until & unless the i386 is migrated.  I think we all can
agree that due to a corporate knife in the back, the alpha will have a
much shorter lifespan than the x86.  I seriously doubt there will be
any alphas running FreeBSD 36 years from now.
