Well, we could do this, but it would involve an explosion of epochs :/ Our
ability to roll back package versions that were 'mistakes' is very very
useful. The only way to keep this is to use epochs to "force" a lower
version package to win. Once epoch, always epoch.
Epoch is a necessary evil, when the alternative is people lose the
ability to automatically upgrade and be useful to your testing efforts.
It has been a bigger mistake for us to rollback these "mistakes" in this
way.
