It's going to go down *exactly* like Y2K did - there will be a lot of hype,
some sites won't notice because they saw the problem coming a decade ago and
did the right thing back then, a lot of sites will try to get moving and find
that their schedules are shot because third-party vendors don't have their shit
together, a lot of sites are going to have engineers burning the midnight oil
in a hurry because they dragged their feet, almost everybody will get hit by
unexpected legacy glitches, 5 years from now the general populace will be
asking what all the fuss was about, and a decade from now, we'll still be
finding little "surprises" in our code base.
