It shouldn't be a problem, as the attic will be
limited to zones that differ from non-attic zones
only in pre-1970 timestamps.  If you're interested
only in post-1970 timestamps, you will be able to
safely ignore the attic.  If you're interested in
pre-1970 timestamps, the attic will be only a
small part of the data you'll need, but it's not
our goal to fix that problem; it's just that we
won't discard the attic data.

If we find errors in the post-1970 data, these
errors will necessarily be in the non-attic files,
and we'll continue to correct them as before.
