For what it's worth, I am also against changing the status quo.
time(0) is special: it is the smallest possible value.  If you deal
with low resolution time values, say hourly schedules, it is not
unreasonable to test for time(0).  For example, when estimating daily
averages, midnight samples can be weighted by 1/2 to account for the
uncertainty in assigning midnight to a given day.
