You do need to be judicious in what you add, but we got up to here
(well over 10 years) with 16 bits worth of space - increasing to 32
bits is going to last a fairly long time... I wouldn't switch to a
different scheme until that point (which is also the point where the
system calls are going to have to change anyway).
