The security model of BABE assumes that we produce at least one block per epoch and the current implementation will halt block production with the error "unexpected epoch change" after an entire epoch with no blocks has elapsed. We should change the implementation to allow skipping over empty epochs which would allow block production to happen even if there are no blocks for multiple epochs.
