Silver Age: Krypto Triumphant

When did Krypto revert back to the Silver Age version?  Superman 680 references him as having been put in a test rocket by Jor-El before he sent his infant son to earth.  I thought the current Krypto jumped through a portal from the Krypton of a pocket dimension (sorry – I don’t have the issue reference for you).  Is this the machinations of Infinite Crisis?  Did Superboy punch the wall? 

Why, oh why,, is DC undoing the last twenty-plus years of story-telling to give us the Silver Age all over again?  Invisible Jets, Bat-mites, thousands of living Kryptonians… John Byrne, where are you when we need you?

I don’t even know what to call this era of DC comics.  We had the golden age, the silver age, the bronze age (sometime called the modern age).  This is the post-modern redux of the silver age.  In the words of a comics great from a gentler age “I’ve had all I can stands; I can’t stands no more.”
