It doesn't really matter whether you were correct or incorrect in the
past and seems a little silly to debate that; far easier and clearer
IMHO to statelessly state that clamping is not required when using
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. :)

I might agree it's esoteric word/usage, but not only is it already "out
there", we have more problems with "reproducible" to worry about this
one too much alas.

Again, no question of blame or apologies here… :)
