It doesn't really matter whether you were correct or incorrect in the past and seems a little silly to debate that; far easier and clearer IMHO to statelessly state that clamping is not required when using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. :) > > I've found that having a shared vocabulary is very useful so just in > > case it helps we tend to use the term "clamping" when referring to > > True… it’s just that I didn’t recall the word, as “clamping” > is not something normally part of my English vocabulary […] I might agree it's esoteric word/usage, but not only is it already "out there", we have more problems with "reproducible" to worry about this one too much alas. > I’ll try to remember next time.
