That's basically what I meant, but I didn't say it so clearly. I'd call
it GPSTIME_PIVOT since we won't use it to define a timescale -- it is
defining a point in an existing timescale that we consider to be
reliably in the past.

Sure, and even if it there's only a release every 5 years it will be
totally ok.
