There's a difference between unsupported and (un?)intentionally
leaving all users' packages frozen at an old (eventually broken)
version because epoch was removed, for some indeterminate period of
time.

Of course, the question about whether epoch should have been used in
the AUR is a separate one (I think it's done mainly to help AUR
helpers work). But once that's been done I don't see any good reason
to remove it.
