- Look on the fedora-packaging list for the discussion
- my guess is:
a. if the fedora.us package had a non-zero epoch it needs to be maintained - just so users have an upgrade path b. if the fedora.us package had an Epoch: 0 drop it and remove %{epoch} from anyplace you have it in ver strings.
I agree with this. Anyone else have thoughts?
Dropping "Epoch: 0" breaks rpm -F updates. This is in bugzilla somewhere.

Because of the above, removing "Epoch: 0"'s now is a bad idea. No objections here _after_ the above has been fixed in rpm and the fix shipped in a released distro version. OTOH there are no real world reasons that would require doing it even then.
