INT_MAX can stick out of int32 on some platforms. (I'm not sure where
that actually happens, though.) We can use PG_INT32_MAX instead.

IMHO, I think we don't use int as a catalog column and I agree that
int32 is sufficient since I don't think more than 49 days delay is
practical. On the other hand, maybe I wouldn't want to use int32 for
intermediate calculations.
