Fair enough. Such change could be scoped just for fedora and keeping
the epoch for RHEL (I know it contradicts the plan). Anyway, as far as
I understand it, epoch support will still be available and its not
forbidden to use it, right? For some cases similar to xz-5.6-to-xz-5.4 
downgrades even necessary. Just wondering, why a reset of epoch in 
rawhide is desirable?
