Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Using current timestamp of commit or tag or anything has some complicated
 issues to work out, understandable.
 What's wrong with just setting to 2020/1/1 00:00:00? No more issues with
 OSX saying the current version is newer, and minimal effort needed, or am
 I missing something?
