Seems fine to me to switch.

I chose date stamps is because I could then standardize across  
different software using different version control formats, and so you  
can easily tell how stale a snapshot was by looking at the pkgver.

A big upside of the revision number choice you suggest is that it's a  
more precise mapping to particular source, which is compelling.
