I won't be there, but I did talk to Chip personally about it, and made
the decision to do the rollback without an epoch. Reasons:
1) it was only in rawhide for a short period of time (a few days, wasn't
in preview release)
2) emacs has a pretty big set of packages that have requires/provides
and what not and they can be rather fragile. I wasn't keen on
introducing an epoch at this moment, especially because epochs tend to
be non-obvious.
3) We may shortly after F9 goes out see an updates-testing -> updates of
this version of emacs, after it gets some more fixes.
I told chip to do it without epoch and that I would stick up for it with
FESCo and the like. It was my decision.
