Should not this date be amended to something more recent? "man 7 man-pages" says: date The date of the last nontrivial change that was made to the man page. (Within the man-pages project, the necessary updates to these timestamps are handled automatically by scripts, so there is no need to manually update them as part of a patch.) Dates should be written in the form YYYY-MM-DD. Perhaps we could add a local timestamp variable to update it automatically? It would catch even insignificant changes, but it would be up to the committer to update the timestamp or not.
