Lucky? Not using DB_HASH because it has a known incompatibility is "lucky"?

Sure all the formats are version'ed, and can change whenever is necessary.
That's also true for EPM: surely you should have changed the version format
when you decided to use SHA256 rather than MD5 in *.rpm packages.
But perhaps you just got "lucky".

I pointed out that there is a one-time cost in converting. Well duh.

I also pointed out an another nicety that is "optional".

But go ahead, cite me to claim WONTFIX for a known to work change
that avoids a luser incompatibility.

Have fun!
