Theoretical MT Question

So, what happens when the number of posts on Mu.nu get to the one right after 99999? I mean, based on trackback links, the storage number of posts is only a five digit number. So what happens when we need that sixth number? Do old posts just get rewritten or something?

(I'm sure this isn't pressing (we're only at 42XXX) but it may come up and I'm somewhat curious...)

2 Um, it is Six digits, Daniel.

3 Hmm. Permalinks are six digits, but trackbacks don't have the leading zeroes, so you can't tell.

4 Okay, then what happens when we reach the one after 999999? Will the permalinks then start having seven digits?
