RFC1155 Timeticks hitting maximum value

RFC1155 defines TimeTicks as a non-negative integer, with a maximum value of 4294967296. 

In our environment, this limiting the hrSystemUptime object id 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1.0 to 497 days, at which point the counter rolls and resets back 0.  
This causes our NMS system to display in-accurate information from our field SNMP agents for their hrSystemUptime values.

Is there any workarounds to this problem we're facing? Are there any plans to increase the RFC1155 definition of TimeTicks to a higher 64 bit integer value?

-Thank You,
Gene Matusovsky
