Sidenote towards ISO 9660 image producers:

Don't forget to check from time to time whether Linux removed the
int bottleneck in fs/isofs/.
See:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=800627#38

The bug report was originally about a Y2028 rollover caused by 8-bit
signedness. It was closed after
  https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/34be4dbf87fc
which left the int problem for future adventures.

Currently it's still "int iso_date()" in:
  https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/isofs/isofs.h line 109
  https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/isofs/util.c line 19


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
