Again, my core gripe is that something that worked fine was modified without any good reason. The specifics of the way in which it was modified (being in HEX and being in seconds since the epoch) are also annoying, but secondary. Of these two issues, I think the HEX encoding is the least easy to justify, but both strike me as being unnescessary. It just annoys me when people try to fix something that isn't broken.
