Comment (by daira):

 Replying to [comment:7 zooko]:
 > To test whether Tahoe-LAFS source code handles such large numbers, we
 don't need to set our system clocks, but instead have a unit test which
 patches {{{time.time}}} and has it return a large number, and then the
 unit test exercises the Tahoe-LAFS code that is affected by the return
 value from {{{time.time}}}.

 Well, that's not necessarily sufficient, because there are quite a few
 more time/date-related Python APIs than {{{time.time}}}. I think we need
 to first enumerate which time/date APIs are used.
