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 ;-)
