Roger may be right that few would care but it would be changing
behavior that goes back to JDK 1.0. In your list (and thanks for
writing down the options with pros/cons) then your 1a where
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH changes to write the epoch date rather than the
current date seems to be most consistent with other tools and the
wider eco system. It seems the least disruptive in that it doesn't
change existing behavior and would be opt-in when reproducibility is
required.
In that case, I will start work along these lines.
