The trouble with HFS and HFS+ that the specification [1] declares this:

"HFS Plus stores dates in several data structures, including the volume
header and catalog records. These dates are stored in unsigned 32-bit
integers (UInt32) containing the number of seconds since midnight,
January 1, 1904, GMT. This is slightly different from HFS, where the
value represents local time. The maximum representable date is February
6, 2040 at 06:28:15 GMT."

So, I am not sure that we are able to support later dates because such
timestamps cannot be stored on HFS/HFS+ volumes and will be
incompatible with Mac OS X. Also, I am not sure that anybody will use
HFS/HFS+ after 2040.

Thanks,
