I don't see any problems with using PORTEPOCH. Using fake versions
brings a lot of confusion though. Manual intervention will still be
required for portscout and repology (e.g. ignoring older versions which
compare higher than newer ones), but at least version will be comparable
and correspond to upstream. I also had a feeling that perl module
authors seem to stick to sane versioning scheme after 2010.
