There is always the assumption that we will colonize the galaxy in 7000 years. When really we will still be on earth and someone is still running and old FreeBSD machine in prod and just doesn't want to update cause it still works.

While I doubt will be stuck on Earth in 7000 years, there's absolutely going to be some of those old systems with 7000+ years of uptime. Just throw the nanite repair gel on it every 50 or so years.

With virtualization you might be running a 7000 year old software on the new hardware

Also hasn't been rebooted in 7000 years, because uptime is important
