Also note that other than mandating a simple integer (in case an

for someone going thorugh the guidelines for the first time it is
helpful to see what is considered bad practice.
So all in all it is a very conservative change in the guidelines.
And please do remember all, the Guidelines were originally supposed to be a
collection of Best Practices, and it is of the opinion of many that avoiding
epoch is a Best Practice.
