Aha! Well, that is indeed historical.
Not sure what you are referring to by rewrite, but if the all the
source/binary package names are different then you will be able to
avoid the epoch.
Nope, the package names stay the same.
I guess then we will have to drag the epoch along with us... :/

the old netCDF package [1] has an epoch slot, 1, which seems entirely

Is that common practice? Is there an upgrade path for it?
