As with all these changes, it's mostly about coordination and legacy systems.
Just as Y2K was a challenge and just as the 2038 date will be a challenge, it's all about pushing changes through legacy systems. ascii->unicode, ip4->ip6, python 2->3. We all know the drill. We've all lived through these things.
It's rarely a technical problem. It's about coordination across firms, domains, people, and systems that may not be known ... until they break.
