True.  What I use the timestamp for (when I use it at all, that is) is
answering "is the bootloader (or whatever) I'm getting the one I just
built and think I installed, or did something go wrong?".  The
difference between ten minutes old and two weeks old is important; the
difference between two weeks old and six months old is not.
