I understand Ron's logic and there's certainly value in questioning the need for something. But this is always a question of cost/value. Even if we don't have an immediate need for this property, the problem is that we can't always envision all the ways people will want to use the repositories (isn't that what you were trying to tell me about how upstream can use git?) and I'm pretty sure that dropping the epoch will be annoying to someone at some point. And the cost of not dropping the epoch is not very high.
