Given that epiphany has randomly failed tests for the last 3+ years due 
to bugs in its patterns, yes, it really needs to be deprecated.

I tried to fix the worst of the offenders in epiphany.md a few years 
back and gave up.  Essentially seemingly innocent changes in the RTL 
will cause reload to occasionally not see a path to get constraints 
satisfied.  So a test which passes today, will flip to failing tomorrow 
while some other test of tests will go the other way.
