relates to MDEV-32188 make TIMESTAMP use whole 32-bit unsig... In Testing

 Description   

In https://mariadb.com/kb/en/event-limitations/

>Events do not support dates beyond the maximum that can be represented in the Unix epoch (2038-01-19).

How severe that limitation will be? Should we consider that IT system, based on MariaDB database, that uses event functionality, will colapse after 14 years? What could be the cost to keep using the system? Do MariaDB developers have a plan to overcome "the problem 2038"?

The plan is to have it fixed within the next few months. See MDEV-32188, it's already implemented, but not yet pushed.
