No, most certainly not. What you're looking at really is a simple 64bit integer type that needs to be scaled by 2^-32 in order to be interpreted in seconds. It's not a separate number format or anything like that and I suspect most of the uses of the integer and fractional half were initially inserted in order to more effectively deal with that type on machines with only 32bit arithmetic. I don't think that's still a valid concern, but those half-word accesses may be hard to excise from the code.
