Ok, forget that point - AFAIK, the only things that matter wrt time is agreement on interval/counter and epoch, and stability. Right now we only have agreement on interval. So while I'd prefer a consistent epoch and counter, I'll live with whatever as we have access to board agreement and stability (like this doesn't hit NANOG every time with "uh oh").
