Probably, you should start planning to not use that function at some point in the next 17 years.

Actually, I'm not sure it isn't a bug, so I've reopened it.

For systems that use 64 bit time_t, the unix times will still work. 

But for this function, it seems to be hard-coded to return false after day 24755

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/969a432fd8b34a0ec4e48e903370f0659aef6b04/ext/calendar/cal_unix.c#L63

That hard-coding could be removed for systems that support 64 bit time.

So maybe you can keep using that function.
