The Python 3.4.3 (what we have on master) bytecode compiler puts
timestamps in the bytecode:

https://bugs.gnu.org/22533

I think this issue will be fixed when we upgrade to Python 3.5.2.

And, IIRC, our version of Sphinx puts timestamps in man pages. This is
also fixed in more recent versions of Sphinx, again IIRC.
