Ok.

I object. This versioning scheme may need *one* epoch, in the
year 2000, if and only if the upstream author continues with the
version scheme then (the version in the year 2000 may simple be
100). I do not see this as a bug, or anything that requires any
changes yet. Lets not create bugs just because we can.

ok.
