I would guess that the "GPS Rollover problem ... not seeming to get much press" is because all modern receivers (ie, anything manufactured in perhaps the last 20 years) handle it okay -- and that's the vast majority of GPS receivers (almost all cellphones have GPS receivers - and "smart" cellphones with GPSs didn't exist 20 years ago) Ditto for on-board GPS-equipped computers in automobiles. And, in fact, how many people even care if their GPSs display the correct date?? Most users simply want latitude and longitude.
