As Arch is a rolling release system, we decided to remove the file. But as tools use this file to identify Arch systems, we decided to keep the file, but make it empty.
2009.08 won't be 2009.08 as soon as you run pacman -Syu ;)
To far this we could maybe add a function to pacman, so that after every -Syu the unixtime gets written to this file. This would give us: * IMHO the highest version/release number a software/distribution ever have. * The individual content of this file then represent the nature of a rolling release.
Ok, just kidding ;-)
And within 28 years it will overflow so we have a negative version number :P
