Here's a first stab at it just to get the ball rolling:
2.x time64 ABI transition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All architectures other than `i386` now use a 64-bit `time_t` ABI,
which can deal with dates beyond 2038. This transition required the
32-bit `armel` and `armhf` architectures to change the libraries
involved without a change of soname
([[https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time|see wiki page for
details]]), so third-party software handling dates on these systems
will need to be recompiled to avoid breakage. The `i386` architecture
did not participate in this transition, since its primary function is
to support legacy software.
I took your text as a base, modified it somewhat and stuck it into
this MR:

Review, improvements welcome.
Guillem: maybe you can also take a look at it.
Best,
Chris
