So to summarize, are you two are thinking that we apply the patch as
emailed, minus anything relating to epoch?

Meaning that API breaks for anyone who treats build_time as a string
(whoever that might be), but does not break for epoch related code. Also
meaning that epoch is still stored as a string in the db.
