Yes, that is what NetBSD did in release 6.0 (2012). OpenBSD release 5.5 (2014)
followed suit. Admittedly these are smaller ecosystems, but the transitions went
reasonably well as I recall. With my application-developer hat on, I prefer this
simpler approach to the sort of complexity we went through with off_t in the
1990s, a mess that we're still having to deal with.
