It's also nothing compared to the 2038 problem. Unlike Y2k, where the things that needed to change were mostly display-side, and the few things to get missed weren't critical, it is virtually guaranteed that central infrastructure in multiple countries will be missed. Then, in the early morning of January 19, 2038, UTC, these central systems will suddenly believe its December 12, 1912.
I really hope civilization holds together long enough for the 2038 issue to actually be a genuine concern. At this point I'm not terribly optimistic that the infrastructure failures it inflicts will even be a noticeable change from all the infrastructure failures we'll be having from diversity.

Fifteen years out? I'd say the odds are pretty even.
