Sure. But, as it stands now, the release manager does not change any file.

Once the release manager runs admin.el the first time (for example, when releasing the 22.0.92 pretest), VERSION will have forever a version string... I can change the regexp to (rx (and "VERSION" (0+ space) "=" (0+ space) (submatch (or "UNKNOWN" (1+ (in "0-9.")))))) but it's a bit of complexity added for one time's sake. /L/e/k/t/u
