Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Year 2038 problem and year 2106 chain halting

It seems that Bitcoin Core will stop working in 2038 because of assertion checking if the current time is non-negative. Also, the whole chain will halt after reaching median time 0xffffffff in 2106. More information: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5365359.0
I wonder if that kind of issues are possible to fix in a soft-fork way.
