Yes, we've rolled back before.  I don't have specific examples, but it 
happens.  We've also flat out removed packages introduced during test times.  
Introducing epochs is ugly and will hang over the package forever, and every 
effort should be made to avoid it.  Because we have the 'right' currently to 
not worry much about going from T1 to T2 or T2 to T3 or T3 to final, we have 
a way of preventing epoch.
