I absolutely believe it's been set down. It's just a weird number to have picked in the first place, a full 20k years or whatever into the future. It feels more like Frank Herbert originally just wanted to say "all that happened a long god-damned time ago... don't fixate on it." Yet here we are, fixating on it. If it's a good show, I won't mind at all, but I find it amusing.

Maybe but it also shows has humanity has gotten complacent/stagnated which is a key plot point in the later books.

For that you need time for various events such as the guild, the butlerian jihad, etc and then time for everything to be in a kind of equilibrium for millennia
