I contest this is an issue.

In the event eth supply exceeds 2^128 we can re-deploy contracts. This event is not anticipated. To give context:

• Current total eth supply ~ 120 million (or 120,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 wei), which is not expected to increase much.
• uint88 max = 309,485,009,821,345,068,724,781,055 (about 3 times eth supply)
• uint128 max = 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,455

If we achieve 2^128 we've become an existential risk to Ethereum and the solution should be determined at ACD, consider this truncation a "safety mechanism" for Ethereum 😆
