As to the why: I'm working on reproducible builds for openSUSE and for that I verify that our packages can still give identical build results 15 years from now (which is the expected lifetime of today's enterprise software). `kvm -rtc base` option helps there.
Sometimes I even make it +20 years to find year-2038 bugs such as those in ninja and python <https://bugs.python.org/issue34990>, because it is better to fix them now rather than be surprised later and have a hard time with plenty busy work getting the fixes everywhere in time.

Now, it would be nice if someone could push this patch to the git repo.
I already got 200+ forks in my github home - most with just 1 small patch that eventually gets merged.
