+Subject: [PATCH] test(specifiers): stop filtering compatible-release examples
+ by epoch
+
+assume() dropped most draws when the specifier and candidate epochs
+differed, so Hypothesis intermittently failed HealthCheck.filter_too_much.

The packaging test suite uses Hypothesis, which generates data for test suites dynamically. However there's a small chance that the test suite fails as the generated data isn't usable, so apply a patch that has been submitted upstream to improve the reliability of the data.
