[PATCH] doc: separate out description of 2038 time stamp change


From: Pádraig Brady
Subject: [PATCH] doc: separate out description of 2038 time stamp change
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2023 14:37:49 +0100

* NEWS: Separate out the description of the _existing_ issues
with outputting timestamps on 32 bit systems, from _future_ issues
outputting timestamps on all systems.  Also move this to the
"improvement" section, since it's not really a coreutils
specific issue, and also is a build time configurable option.
