I think it's better to transition to something early rather than panic
when a hard deadline is approaching.  People were aware of Y2K well
before it became crunch time.  People are aware of 2038 and the
exhaustion of IPV4 address space and are planning ahead of time.  It's
much better to have an orderly transition instead of "OMG! PANIC!  We
hit the wall - now what?!"
