Agreed.  By then the upstream could disappear, migrate to whatever hip
vc system there is in five years, etc.  And maybe I fail to see the
intent behind using the date in release tag of vcs-checkouted package.
Perhaps it's just an arbitrary identifier.  But if the intent is
anything close to making a life easier for whoever reconstructs the
srpm, using the release number makes more sense than the date alone.
