I think the mkrels will stay for a while tho' (for ease of backporting)
so I think we'll have some "breathing space" in this regard. I suspect
that once all the wrinkles are ironed out, that we'll also go down the
RPM5 route (which will hopefully be easier for us then), in which case
the distepoch will likely become used by us too.
Hard to say exactly what'll happen in the future, but it's at least
semi-likely.
