Ok, forget that point - AFAIK, the only things that matter wrt time is
agreement on interval/counter and epoch, and stability. Right now we only
have agreement on interval.

So while I'd prefer a consistent epoch and counter, I'll live with whatever
as we have access to board agreement and stability (like this doesn't hit
NANOG every time with "uh oh").
