I ran into this when writing some code against the API where I needed
epoch information, but I thought that None should be handled as zero
(especially true in my code) and just special-cased that None == 0.

Actually come to think of it this was against the RPM API, but the
same holds true, I think - it's up to the developer to do something
sane, I'm fine with leaving it the way it is.
