I agree with this position.

For additional details, here is what I wrote in the other thread
(regarding defaulting time64):

| That still needs some per-package work (mainly for scripting languages
| using FFI) because dlsym for gettimeofday etc. still find the 32-bit
| variant.  There are various ways we can hack around that, I guess.
| 
| Anyway, this dual ABI break (for off_t and time_t) needs to be proposed
| as a Fedora change, and we can discuss mechanics if Fedora wants to move
| in that direction.  I think this is far from a given because a
| still-unknown amount of third-party software will break.  GNUTLS, for
| example, used to have a fairly stable ABI: libgnutls.so.30 goes back a
| couple of years; I think it was part of CentOS 7 already.
| 
| I think the first step is to decide if we want to do this.  After that,
| we can discuss mechanics.  For example, traditionally, ABI changes like
| this have not been implemented through build flags injection in Fedora,
| rather we updated the toolchain defaults.
| 
| Needless to say, I have very little interest to work on this (I consider
| all this a pointless distraction, to be blunt), but I guess I can help
| with toolchain enablement.

Thanks,
Florian
