I don't really think we should break it now (just saying that it'd
make more sense, but in practice I don't think it'll make a
difference).

Bug description:
There's an inconsistency in TimeRange.always() produced by ZG and libzg. ZG uses (-maxint, maxint), while libzg uses (0, maxint). This introduces incompabilities when using ZG's TimeRange.is_always(), where it'll return True for ZG's TimeRanges and False for libzg's TimeRanges.

Our mightly leader Seif decided that ZG should also use (0, maxint), so this is a reminder to change it for the next release.
